breakdown at least once per shift.

of skin breakdown. Although applying lotion is appropriate, this option is not the best
way to maintain good skin integrity. It may not be appropriate to remove the cannula in a
patient for whom oxygen therapy has been ordered. The patient may be unaware of
facial skin areas that are dry or cracking.
