The healthcare provider is assessing a patient who has been sedentary for several weeks. The provider is especially concerned about looking for Decubitus ulcers. This is because: - Excessive bedrest causes joint and bone pain. - Calluses of this type often lead to open infections of the feet. - Patients that are immobilized are at higher risk for bedsores. - Scarring is often found on sedentary patients.
