Answer
A
cutting fat out of a patient’s diet
B
repositioning a patient frequently
C
providing proper skin care for a patient
D
keeping a patient well hydrated
E
performing surgical repair of a patient’s ulcer
F
using pressure-reduction devices on a patient

Explanation

Decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) can be prevented by reducing prolonged pressure and keeping the skin healthy. Repositioning the patient frequently and using pressure-reduction devices help relieve pressure, while proper skin care and good hydration support skin health. Cutting fat from the diet is not a standard preventive measure, and surgical repair treats an established ulcer rather than preventing one.
