Usually you want to adjust the position of the patient at least every 2 hours, or more if possible. Also, you want to pad any bony prominences (elbows, coccyx, etc) and always float the heels (which pretty much means put a pillow underneath the ankles so that the heels aren't touching the bed. Switching the weight distribution often is the main idea behind pressure ulcer prevention.

What are two methods cells use to withstand hypotonic environments?
Plant cells have rigid cell walls that prevent bursting. The pressure of the cytoplasm against the cell wall keeps the plant from wilting and losing its shape. This pressure is called turgor pressure Some protists (such as Paramecium) counteract hypotonicity with the use of contractile vacuoles that pump water rapidly out of the cell.
