Question 11

A decubitus ulcer, also known as a pressure ulcer or bedsore, is caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, typically in bedridden patients. A bruise is a contusion from trauma, an open wound is a break in the skin from injury, and a scar is tissue formed after wound healing. So the correct option is the one defining it as a pressure bedsore.

The word part "nevo - " (or "nev - ") is related to birthmarks (nevi are moles or birthmarks). "Freckle" is different, "growth" is too general, and "new" is not the meaning of "nevo - ".

Answer:

B. pressure bedsore
