Answer 1

The nurse would include education related to both granulation and reepithelialization in Stage II, Stage III, and Stage IV pressure ulcers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For pressure ulcers, the nurse would include education related to both granulation and reepithelialization in Stage II, Stage III, and Stage IV.

1. Stage II pressure ulcers involve a partial-thickness loss of the skin, which may include the dermis or blistering.
2. Stage III pressure ulcers involve a full-thickness loss of the skin, extending into the subcutaneous tissue.
3. Stage IV pressure ulcers involve a full-thickness loss of the skin, extending into the muscle, bone, or supporting structures.

In these stages, granulation (the process of new blood vessel formation and tissue healing) and reepithelialization (the process of new skin cell growth) are important for wound healing.
