pressure ulcers prevention

Preventing pressure ulcers involves reducing prolonged pressure on the skin, especially over bony areas like hips and heels. To do this, regularly changing positions, using cushions or cushions, and keeping skin clean and dry are helpful. Good nutrition and hydration support healthy skin, while checking skin regularly helps catch early signs of trouble. Mobility and activity are also important; even small movements promote blood flow. Overall, the goal is to relieve pressure, protect skin integrity, and monitor for early signs of skin damage to prevent ulcers from forming.
