Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolonged immobility can lead to the development of pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers. These ulcers can become infected and lead to septicemia. Erythema (redness of the skin) is a symptom and not a cause of septicemia. Antibacterial drugs are used to treat infections and would not cause septicemia. Excessive exercise is not related to septicemia.
