It is important to assess the client's skin under an orthopedic device at least once per nursing shift to prevent complications, such as skin breakdown or pressure injuries.
True
False
This statement is correct. When orthopedic devices are applied, they can exert pressure, cause friction, or trap moisture against the skin. Regular skin assessments under these devices help identify early signs of complications, such as redness, pressure sores, or impaired circulation. Failing to perform these assessments could result in delayed intervention and worsening client outcomes. While routine monitoring is recommended, if clients report discomfort around the device, additional evaluations should be performed to ensure it is properly fitted and maintained.
