Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constant pressure on the skin, especially on bony prominences, interferes with circulation, causing pressure ulcers. Contractures occur when joints are not positioned frequently, and fluid can accumulate in the lungs with infrequent positioning. Osteoporosis, increased blood pressure, and elevated temperature are not results of improper alignment or positioning.
