Explanation:

Question 21

A decubitus ulcer is defined as a pressure sore (bedsore) that forms due to prolonged pressure on the skin, especially over bony prominences. A bruise is a contusion, an open wound is a break in the skin's surface (not specific to pressure - related ulcers), and a scar is the result of wound healing. So the correct option is the one that matches the definition of decubitus ulcer.

In medical terminology, "verruca" is the term for a wart. "Wheal" is a raised, itchy skin lesion (like in hives), "macule" is a flat, circumscribed area different in color (like a freckle), and "purpura" is a type of bleeding under the skin causing purple spots. So we identify the term that means wart.

Answer:

B. pressure bedsore
