elimination due to a diminished blood flow to the kidneys. A condition such
as cardiac tamponade affects the heart's ability to pump adequate amounts of
blood, thereby reducing blood flow to vital organs throughout the body,
including the kidneys.

pressure ulcer in this client?
a. Skin has a purple/bluish color
b. Capillary refill is 1 second
c. Skin appears blanched at the pressure site
d. Tenting appears when checking skin turgor
ANSWER A: When assessing for signs of developing pressure ulcers in a
client with dark skin, decreased circulation may not always be readily
apparent. For instance, blanching, the red undertones seen in light-skinned
clients, will not always be present. Instead, the skin of an early pressure ulcer
may develop a purple or bluish color.
