to later treat them, is an inadvertent focus of eliminating the
vast nationwide problem of nursing home abuse. Occurring
in at least one in three nursing homes across the country, by preventing
the cycle of abuse that has been plaguing our nation's elders it
can also drastically help preventing bed sores. There are certain
methods of preventing bed sores.
Bed-ridden residents are at an especially high risk
for suffering bed sores and nursing home care workers must frequently
move or rotate the resident so that constant pressure in one bodily
area is not experienced for preventing bed sores. Repositioning
residents every couple hours is essential in preventing bed sores
and in increasing the comfort level for residents. If a resident
is in a seated position, employees must shift the residents every
quarter of an hour for preventing bed sores since the position is
added pressure. Learning and utilizing methods for preventing bed
sores should be a priority for nursing home employees.
