Shearing force is the pressure exerted on the skin when a debilitated client is pulled up in bed without a drawsheet, or when the client slides down in bed. With shearing, the skin adheres to the bed linens while the layers of subcutaneous tissue and bone slide in the direction of the body movements, causing a tearing of the skin. Using a drawsheet can reduce and minimize friction and shearing force. Maintaining the head of the bed at 35 degrees or less, repositioning the client at least every 2 hours and supporting with pillows and at least once every 8 hours, and performing passive range-of-motion exercises of all extremities are all appropriate interventions to prevent further pressure injury and to promote circulation, but they are not as effective as using a drawsheet in prevention of shearing force.
C!

The nurse must be especially alert to any changes in respirations, because morphine decreases the respiratory center function in the brain. An order for morphine should be questioned if the baseline respirations are less than 12 per minute. Neurological status along with pulse and blood pressure would be a priority assessment after respiratory rate. Measurements of temperature and urinary output are part of the overall client assessment but not a priority with morphine.
D!

Adolescence is a period of psychological, social, and maturational growth. There are subphases of adolescence. Middle adolescence occurs between the ages of 15 and 17. Prepubescence occurs 2 years before the onset of puberty. However, this patient has already achieved puberty and had her first menstrual flow. Postpubescence extends for 1 to 2 years after puberty. The patient has recently had her first menstrual flow and is at the point of puberty. Late adolescence occurs between the ages of 18 and 20.
