Pressure Ulcer Prevention
Prevention of all instances of pressure
ulcers would be ideal, however this has not been the reality.
While changes being made to the way our nation’s nursing homes
care for our elders, pressure ulcer prevention has not been a priority
in the past, affecting residents that are abused in at least one
in three nursing homes across the nation. It is especially important
for pressure ulcer prevention to occur since many elders are already
living with other health complications and decreased immune levels
that can further complicate the formation of pressure ulcers.
Elders unable to move on their own must be rotated
every couple hours at least for pressure ulcer prevention. Areas
of the body that stick out especially far must be watched closely
for pressure ulcer prevention, including the heels, hips, tailbone,
and other body parts. If any discomfort is experienced that may
indicate the formation of pressure ulcers, it is important to immediately
relieve that area for pressure ulcer prevention into further, more
serious stages. Pressure ulcer prevention will be a natural result
of better nursing home care as a whole, a nationwide problem that
must be amended.
