Explanation:

1. Standard resident care protocols specify this frequency for basin cleaning during mouth care.
2. Bony prominences are areas where bone is close to the skin; the sacrum is a curved bone at the base of the spine, prone to pressure.
3. Risk factors for pressure injuries stem from reduced mobility and poor tissue perfusion; prevention focuses on relieving pressure and skin care.
4. Early pressure injury signs relate to skin changes, with Stage I having distinct discoloration.

Answer:

1. 2
2. Areas where bone lies close to the skin surface; a triangular bone at the base of the spinal column
3. Immobility, poor nutrition, moisture, and reduced sensation; Reposition residents regularly (every 2 hours for bedbound residents); Keep skin clean and dry, and use supportive cushions
4. Persistent redness or discoloration of the skin that does not blanch when pressed; Red, pink, or darker (depending on skin tone) discolored, intact skin
