A nurse is assessing a client who has a pressure ulcer. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect for a stage 3 pressure ulcer?

The correct answer is B: Full-thickness skin loss with visible subcutaneous fat. In a stage 3 pressure ulcer, there is full-thickness tissue loss involving damage or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue, but not extending through underlying fascia. This stage involves visible subcutaneous fat. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Intact skin with redness is characteristic of a Stage 1 pressure ulcer. C: Partial-thickness skin loss with a pink wound bed is characteristic of a Stage 2 pressure ulcer. D: Eschar covering the wound is characteristic of a Stage 4 pressure ulcer.
