pressure injury prevention

Pressure injury prevention involves reducing prolonged pressure on the skin and underlying tissues, which can cause damage when blood flow is restricted. To prevent these injuries, it’s important to regularly change position, use cushions or special supports to distribute pressure evenly, maintain healthy skin through proper hygiene and nutrition, and keep the skin clean and dry. Regular assessments and early adjustments help avoid areas at risk, especially for individuals with limited mobility. Overall, the goal is to minimize pressure points and promote good skin health to prevent sores from developing.
