Quiz :The registered nurse (RN) delegates the tasks of caring for a client with
pressure ulcers. The client suffers further tissue necrosis during treatment.
What could be the reason for this condition?
1
Cleaning of the wound by the registered nurse (RN)
2
, Performing irrigation of the wound by the patient care associate (PCA)
3
Administering of oral analgesics by the licensed practical nurse (LPN)
4
Repositioning the client every 1-2 hours by the licensed practical nurse (LPN) -
Answer :Performing irrigation of the wound by the patient care associate (PCA)
The patient care associate (PCA) is not authorized to irrigate the wound as
improper technique can lead to tissue damage. The RN is qualified to perform
wound care; therefore, cleaning the wound is not likely to lead to tissue
necrosis. Pressure ulcers are associated with pain. The LPN administering oral
analgesics may relieve the pain, but it will not cause tissue necrosis. Having the
licensed practical nurse (LPN) reposition the client every 1 or 2 hours will
minimize the risk of tissue necrosis due to pressure ulcers.
