What should be avoided to prevent abrasions on a client's coxes?

Wrinkles in the sheets
Excessive moisture
Direct sunlight
Harsh soaps

The correct answer is: Wrinkles in the sheets

To prevent abrasions on a client's coxes, it is essential to ensure that there are no wrinkles in the sheets. Wrinkles can create friction against the skin as the client shifts or moves, leading to abrasions or skin breakdown. Smooth, wrinkle-free sheets provide a more comfortable environment, minimizing the risk of irritations or injuries on sensitive areas of the body like the coxes. In addition, while excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and harsh soaps can have their own negative effects on the skin, they do not directly relate to the risk of abrasions due to friction caused by wrinkled bedding. Keeping the bedding flat and soft helps maintain skin integrity and allows for patient comfort during rest or mobility.
