True /False: Patients who leave the floor for “procedures” are at higher risk for developing a pressure injury (OR procedures, IR procedures, cath lab, GI Procedures)
True

You want to take your patient on a walk, what is an important question you should ask first?
"Do you use a walker or cane?"

This pressure injury risk assessment scale measures physical and mental condition, activity, mobility, and incontinence
The Braden scale
The Braden Scale is commonly used to assess the risk for pressure injuries. This scale includes components such as sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction/shear, helping to determine the patient's overall risk for developing pressure injuries.

True/false: There is a risk of device-related pressure injuries with external male and female catheters
True
External male and female catheters, such as the PureWick, have potential to cause pressure injuries. It is important to ensure proper fit and hygiene, as improper use or prolonged wear can result in skin irritation or pressure damage

This is the maximum amount of time a patient should be in the chair without repositioning
One hour

This specialty cushion is for patients with >stage 2 wounds
low air loss overlay
Ordered by UCO from Agiliti

True/false: It is not necessary to reposition a patient with blanchable erythema
False
Repositing patients is key to pressure injury prevention. Blanchable erythema is redness that turns white when pressed and turns red again when pressure is released. However, you would still want to note subtle change & implement early pressure injury interventions to prevent NON blanchable erythema

True/false: My patient has an orthopedic brace (C-collar, knee immobilizer, wrist splint), I should not remove it for skin checks
False

Name 3 places a pressure injury can develop in the chair
sacrum, ischial tuberosities, spinous processes, heels, elbows, lateral malleolus

This is a minimum requirement for every patient with a Braden Score <18 or patients who can’t independently reposition in chair
Standard air cushion

Name 3 risk factors for periop pressure injuries
- being anesthetized
- immobility
- unable to verbalize pain/discomfort related to positioning

This device is not compatible with pneumoboots
Multipodus boot

Name 3 options for repositioning once in the chair
- putting leg rest down
- standing for 1 minute
- shifting laterally

True/false: When a patient is on a specialty bed we do not have to turn them every 2 hours.
False
A specialty bed provides pressure redistribution but does not provide pressure relief. You still need to reposition patients
