PRESSURE ULCERS



Pressure ulcers, is a prominent issue in the elderly and very important in nursing care to a geriatric patient.
With the emergence of chronic diseases that lead to immobility and stay in bed, if there is prevention and identification of risk factors can hardly avoid the occurrence of pressure ulcers in patients in these conditions.
Most pressure ulcers are preventable so good practice nurse will be reflected in the good prevention thereof.
To evaluate these items have validated scales noted for its greater use the Braden scale and Norton scale.



In our role as nurses we must put the necessary means to prevent these injuries (bony protection, repositioning etc.)
In the event that a patient come to us with a pressure ulcer we study and plan a standardized care based on scientific evidence in order to resolve it.

From my point of view, this issue is very important and is an area in which nurses should be renewed because these injuries can trigger other complications in patients and is always vital to prevent complications due to lower incomes of patients and the economic cost that this would take place.
