Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Of the goals listed, this is the most appropriate for a stage 4 pressure injury as it is the most concrete and measurable. Maintenance of intact skin (choice A) and limiting pressure (choice B) are important aspects of pressure injury prevention but are not realistic goals for a client with an already established stage 4 pressure injury. Improvement in drainage (choice D) is not a sufficient measure of wound healing and may still leave the client at risk for infection and prolonged healing times.
