Answer
A
dryness of skin
B
increase in circulation
C
friction and shearing
D
inability to control urination
E
increase in sensory functions
F
areas without bony prominences
G
moisture in dark body creases

Explanation

Dry skin can crack and become damaged, while friction and shearing can injure the skin’s surface. Inability to control urination can leave skin exposed to moisture and irritants, and moisture trapped in dark body creases can also lead to skin breakdown. Increased circulation, increased sensory function, and areas without bony prominences are not common causes of skin alterations.
