Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A client with a heart or lung disorder often has problems getting adequate oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. In a client with a respiratory disorder, the blood that is delivered to the tissues may not contain enough oxygen. The heart of a client with a cardiovascular disorder may not be strong enough to deliver the blood to the tissues, even if it contains enough oxygen. Therefore, clients with circulatory or respiratory problems are at even higher risk for developing pressure ulcers, because their tissues are already deprived of oxygen and nutrients. There is no known connection between pressure ulcer development and the remaining options.
