A nurse is assessing the skin turgor of an older adult client. In which of the following areas should the nurse lift the skin?

A) Abdomen: Assessing skin turgor on the abdomen in older adults is not recommended due to the natural loss of elasticity in this area, which can lead to inaccurate results. B) Neck: The neck is also not an ideal location for assessing skin turgor in older adults, as the skin in this area can be affected by age-related changes, leading to unreliable assessments. C) Sternum: The sternum is a preferred site for assessing skin turgor in older adults. The skin in this area tends to retain its elasticity better than other areas, providing a more accurate assessment of hydration status. D) Shoulder: The shoulder is not commonly used for assessing skin turgor in older adults, as it may not provide reliable results due to age-related changes in skin elasticity. The sternum remains the best option for this assessment.
