A nurse is completing an assessment of an older adult client and notes reddened areas over the bony prominences, but the client's skin is intact. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Supporting bony prominences with pillows relieves pressure, preventing pressure injuries. Occlusive dressings, infrequent repositioning, and massaging reddened areas can worsen the condition.
