Question:
A large number of bedding changes will be required by a patient who suffers from incontinent stools. This probably leave untreated moisture around the bottom; therefore, increasing the opportunities of suffering from skin tearing and breaking down. Additionally, because the individual is demonstrating signs of confusion, they may not understand where they are, which can cause injuries to the skin as they may bruise from contact with the bed. The elderly are at a greater risk of skin injuries because they no longer have the elasticity within their skin to bounce back, these individuals are not at as great of skin damage risk.

There are definitely a few mistakes in this app, some of the answers are just plain wrong so make sure this is not your only source of study material. Other than that this app is very helpful.

I would love to give this app 5 stars but in the Nursing Skills section it does not allow you to go on to part 7. After you get to part 6 it either just never loads or it tells you to go to part 7 and does absolutely nothing.
