Question
Answer
pt's with multiple pressure ulcers stage II or higher on turning surfaces or have 1 no turning surfaces should be placed on what type of surface   active with an AP feature or a reactive support surface with an LAL or AF feature  
🗑
what surface is more effective in reducing the incidence of pt in persons at risk that standard hospital foam mattresses   high specification foam  
🗑
which high spec foam is best   no evidence of one being superior  
🗑
australian medical grade sheepskin   not readily available in the US, appropriate choice for pts' with braden subscore of 4 or 3 in moisture and mobility  
🗑
which reactive/CLP support surface is best   insufficient evidence to support one over another  
🗑
active support surfaces with an AP feature are more effective than what to prevent PU   standard hospital mattress  
🗑
which is better to reduce incidence of PU'S, mattress with AP or overlay with AP   overlays and mattresses with AP features show similar efficacy in reducing PU incidence  
🗑
mattresses with a multi stage AP feature are more effective that overlays with AP feature in preventing   full thickness PU  
🗑
mattresses or overlays with single stage AP are equal or different in preventing what   equal in preventing partial thickness PU's  
🗑
what can be done to prevent post op PU incidence   use of a support surface  
🗑
suspected deep tissue injury (sDTI) on trunk or pelvis   surface that facilitates tissue temp reduction (turning, gel, AP, LAL, or AF feature  
🗑
person with PU on head or upper or lower extremities   should be offloaded and may not require a change in current surface  
🗑
if while on reactive /CLP surface with LAL or AF feature, pt's condition improves (no longer has PU or no longer at high risk)   reactive /CLP or an active support surface with an AP feature  
🗑
what are contraindications for Reactive/CLP surfaces   unstable spine, weight limitations  
🗑
what are contraindications or precautions for high specificity foam   braden moisture 1 or 2, weight limitations  
🗑
what are contraindications for Reactive/CLP surfaces with LAL features   add precautions for combative, restless, agitated pt  
🗑
what are contraindications for Reactive/CLP surfaces with AF feature   combative, restless, agitated pt, needs HOB elevated, need for mobility, claustrophobia, unstable spine, weight limitations, trendelenberg  
🗑
immersion   the depth of penetration or sinking in to the surface, improves redistribution  
🗑
envelopment   ability of support surface to conform to body irregularities w/o increasing pressure  
🗑
friction    
🗑
shear    
🗑
what is a support surface   any surface that redistributes pressure  
🗑
incidence    
🗑
prevalence    
🗑
preventive pressure redistribution   redistribute pressure over reader area so that pressure is is lower at any given point, doesn't consistently lower pressure to <CCP, must turn Q 2 also  
🗑
therapeutic pressure redistribution   TIP is below CCP, prevent skin breakdown in person who can't turn themselves or only one turning surface, promote healing of current PI, reduce stress on an area of tissue  
🗑
CLP   is REACTIVE constant low pressure, powered or non powered, redistributes pressure via immersion and envelopment (gel, foam, viscous fluid, static air, water, bead filled, sheepskin, doesn't move with pt, shear reduction via low friction and compliant  
🗑
AP   is ACTIVE surface alternating or active, cyclic changes in loading and unloading, moves with pt, pressure and shear reduced via cyclic load reduction,  
🗑
LAL   flow of air to manage microclimate  
🗑
air fluidized   air forced through beads creates fluid like medium, provides immersion and envelopment  
🗑
compare AP and CLP   AP= active, moves with pt, alternating pressure, pressure and shear reduced via cyclic load reduction, CLP=reactive, doesn't move with pt, pressure reduced via immersion and envelopment, shear reduction via low friction and compliant  
🗑
indentation force deflection   number of lbs. needed to indent the foam 25% of the thickness, measures compressibility and conformability  
🗑
braden scale no risk   19 and higher  
🗑
Braden very high risk   9 or <  
🗑
Braden high risk   10-12  
🗑
Braden moderate risk   13-14  
🗑
Braden mild risk   15-18  
🗑
