Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the integumentary system: The integumentary system primarily includes the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands. Its main functions are protection, sensation, temperature regulation, and excretion.

Identify the body part most directly associated with the integumentary system: Among the options provided (Liver, Lungs, Kidneys, Skin), the skin is the primary organ of the integumentary system.

Consider the effects of improper application of a compression wrap: Compression wraps are applied to the skin and underlying tissues. If applied improperly, they can cause damage such as restricted blood flow, pressure sores, or irritation to the skin.

Eliminate unrelated options: The liver, lungs, and kidneys are part of other systems (digestive, respiratory, and urinary systems, respectively) and are not directly affected by compression wraps applied to the skin.

Conclude that the skin is the body part most likely affected by improper application of a compression wrap, as it is the primary organ of the integumentary system and directly interacts with the wrap.
