Question
true or false the pressure dressing may be too tight if the skin below the pressure dressing is cool to the touch, bluish, numb, or if the pulse below the pressure dressing is no longer present. true false
In medical practice, a too - tight pressure dressing can impede blood flow. When blood flow is restricted, the skin below the dressing can become cool (due to lack of warm blood), bluish (from deoxygenated blood pooling or lack of oxygenated blood), numb (due to nerve ischemia), and the pulse below the dressing can be absent (as blood isn't flowing to produce a pulse). So the statement is correct.
