A. "The higher the score, the higher the pressure injury risk.". B. "Each element has a range from one to five points.". C. "The scale measures six elements.". D. "The client's age is part of the measurement.".

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The Braden scale measures six elements: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction/shear.

“The higher the score, the higher the pressure injury risk”: This statement is incorrect.

The lower the score on the Braden scale, the higher the risk for pressure injury.

“Each element has a range from one to five points”: This statement is incorrect.

Each element has a range from one to four points, except for friction/shear which has a range from one to three points.

“The client’s age is part of the measurement”: This statement is incorrect. Age is not one of the elements measured by the Braden scale.
