Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decubitus ulcer, also known as a pressure sore or bed sore, is a break in the continuity of skin caused by prolonged pressure or friction, often from prolonged sitting or lying in the same position. Leukoplakia is a white patch on the mucous membranes, psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by scaly patches, tinea is a fungal skin infection, and scleroderma is a connective tissue disorder. None of these conditions are specifically associated with the formation of bed sores.
