Question 4 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement for an elderly client with a reddened area over the coccyx (skin intact)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a stage 1 pressure ulcer (intact skin), turning every 2 hours and using a Gel-Overlay mattress prevent progression. Wound care nurse involvement is for stage 2+, antibiotics aren't needed, and bio-occlusive dressings are for protection, not treatment here.
