Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 6, 2014
A patient with a stroke is paralyzed on the left side of the body and is not responsive enough to turn or move independently in bed. A pressure ulcer has developed on the patient’s left hip. The best nursing diagnosis for this patient is
a.   impaired physical mobility related to paralysis.
b.   impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure.
c.   risk for impaired tissue integrity related to impaired physical mobility.
d.   ineffective tissue perfusion related to inability to turn and move self in bed.
