A holistic approach to pressure sore management
British Journal of Nursing (Mark Allen Publishing)
|March 12, 1995
Abstract:
Caring for a pressure sore requires a holistic approach. Incontinence complicates the management of wounds. Encouraging patient participation in pressure sore management promotes ownership of the sore. Consistency in documentation allows a consistent and objective evaluation of healing. Recognition of any deficits in knowledge, and education to meet these, enhances patient safety.
