Explanation:

• Using hot water for bathing can damage the skin, increasing the risk of pressure injuries.
• Massaging over bony areas can cause micro - trauma to the skin and underlying tissues.
• Limiting fluid intake can lead to dehydration, which makes the skin more fragile.
• Keeping the skin dry and clean helps prevent maceration (softening due to moisture) and reduces the risk of skin breakdown, which is important in preventing pressure injuries.

Keeping the skin dry and clean.
