Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the context of the problem. Ada Bronson has been bedridden for a long period of time, which means she is immobile and likely experiencing prolonged pressure on certain areas of her body.

Step 2: Recall the physiological consequences of immobility. Prolonged immobility can lead to reduced blood flow to areas of the skin and underlying tissues, increasing the risk of tissue damage and necrosis.

Step 3: Identify the condition associated with prolonged pressure on the skin. Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers, are a common complication in bedridden patients due to sustained pressure on specific areas of the body.

Step 4: Eliminate the other options. Asthma is a respiratory condition unrelated to immobility. Diabetes insipidus is a hormonal disorder affecting water balance, and osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, neither of which are directly caused by being bedridden.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is pressure ulcers, as this condition is directly linked to prolonged immobility and pressure on the skin.
