Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's episodes of bowel and bladder incontinence put them at risk for developing impaired skin integrity, such as pressure ulcers. Therefore, the appropriate nursing diagnosis would be "Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity." Impaired Tissue Integrity and Impaired Infection do not directly apply to the client's condition.
