Tissue Integrity NSG 100 Exam 3 Practice

The main idea is how Braden Scale scoring translates into risk: six domains feed into a total score that ranges from 6 to 23, and lower totals mean a higher risk for pressure injuries. The six domains are sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. Each domain is scored to reflect impairment, with most domains using a 1–4 scale and friction and shear typically using a 1–3 scale, so the total score ends up between 6 and 23. Therefore, a lower total indicates greater risk, while a higher total indicates lower risk. This is why the statement about the score range and its interpretation is correct. The other options are off: one claims every category is 1–4 including friction/shear (not accurate), another says higher scores mean higher risk (the opposite), and another says it assesses only nutrition (it covers six domains).
