Abstract:
Older people recovering from an illness or operation can spend long periods sitting in a chair. Because they may be frail and have reduced mobility their vulnerability to pressure damage may be increased. Staff in one trust undertook an audit of nurse knowledge and practice in finding suitable seating for such patients and developed an algorithm as a teaching aid.
