Select All That Apply
When performing a skin assessment, which areas of the skin are at the highest risk for skin breakdown? Select all that apply.
Explanation & Rationale
A. The groin area is prone to skin breakdown due to friction, moisture, and pressure, especially in immobile patients. B. The coccyx (tailbone) is a high-risk area for pressure ulcers due to constant pressure when sitting, particularly in bedridden patients. C. The heels are vulnerable to pressure ulcers because they are under constant pressure when lying down or when standing for prolonged periods. D. While the scapula may be at risk in certain conditions (e.g., if the patient is immobile and lying on their back), it is generally not as high-risk as other areas like the coccyx or heels. E. This area is at risk due to moisture, friction, and pressure from the breast tissue, especially in obese or immobile patients.
