A nurse is performing a pressure injury risk assessment for a client. Which of the following findings increases the client's risk of a pressure injury?

A. BMI of 20: While a BMI of 20 is on the lower end of the normal range, it does not necessarily indicate a high risk for pressure injuries. Extreme low BMI may pose a risk, but a BMI of 20 alone is not a definitive factor in increasing pressure injury risk compared to the other listed conditions. B. Peripheral neuropathy: Peripheral neuropathy impairs sensation in the skin, which reduces the client’s ability to feel pressure, pain, or discomfort. This diminished sensory perception increases the risk of developing pressure injuries as the client might not be aware of or respond to pressure-related issues. C. Immobility: Immobility, or limited mobility, significantly raises the risk of pressure injuries because it prevents the client from frequently changing positions. Prolonged pressure on specific body areas can impede blood flow and lead to skin breakdown. D. Hypoperfusion: Hypoperfusion indicates reduced blood flow to tissues, which can contribute to tissue ischemia and increase the risk of pressure injuries. Inadequate blood flow prevents adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to the skin, making it more susceptible to damage.
