Nurse Up!

Every Nurse Needs to Understand Pressure Ulcer Assessment, Jennifer Olin, @Jolin2 @RNCentral #nursefriendly #nurseup:”Decubitus ulcers or pressure ulcers, or as they are more commonly known, bedsores, are nursing practice priorities across all healthcare settings. From the nursing home to the operating room and everywhere in between, maintenance of skin integrity is a major aspect of nursing care. Consistent, planned skin care assessment and interventions are critical to ensuring high quality care. A pressure ulcer is a localized area of tissue necrosis (death) that develops when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a prolonged period of time.”
