Question

Bedrest with dressing changes twice a day would be least supportive because it does not address the need for mobility and pressure relief, which are crucial for preventing and treating pressure ulcers. Hourly turning, toileting programs, and mobility exercises are all interventions aimed at reducing pressure and improving circulation.
