Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

An assessment tool that helps predict a patient's risk for developing pressure ulcers is the:

Bradley Scale

Henderson Score

Chandler Index

Braden Scale

The Bradley Scale, Henderson Score, and Chandler Index are all assessment tools for risk factors related to medical emergencies and have nothing to do with pressure ulcers. Therefore, they are not appropriate predictive tools for assessing the risk of developing pressure ulcers. The Braden Scale, on the other hand, is specifically designed to assess an individual's risk for developing pressure ulcers by evaluating six different categories sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. It is widely used and considered to be an accurate and reliable predictor of pressure ulcer risk.
