Final answer:
Lateral rotation support surface, low-air-loss and nonpowered support surfaces, and air-fluidized bed support surface are effective in preventing and treating complications associated with immobility and skin breakdown.
Step-by-step explanation:
A lateral rotation support surface is useful in treating and preventing pulmonary, venous stasis, and urinary complications associated with immobility. Low-air-loss and nonpowered support surfaces help in preventing and treating skin breakdown. An air-fluidized bed support surface prevents skin breakdown and may also be used to protect newly flapped or grafted surgical sites.
These support surfaces aid in preventing and treating complications that can arise from immobility. For example, a lateral rotation support surface helps prevent pulmonary, venous stasis, and urinary complications by gently turning the patient to help with gas and nutrient exchange, and prevent the diffusion of fluid into the interstitial space. Low-air-loss and nonpowered support surfaces are effective in preventing and treating skin breakdown by reducing pressure and promoting air circulation. An air-fluidized bed support surface not only prevents skin breakdown but also protects newly flapped or grafted surgical sites. Thus, the statement is true.
