PRESSURE ULCER PREVENTION: FUNDAMENTALS FOR BEST PRACTICE.
This introduction has highlighted both the complex nature of the aetiology of pressure ulcer development and the complex
nature of the assessment process intended to identify those patients who are or might be at an enhanced risk of pressure
ulcer development. The latter statement assumes that all patients cared for in any healthcare setting are vulnerable to
pressure ulcer development. Whilst it is acknowledged that the use of a risk assessment tool can be important in an overall
pressure ulcer prevention strategy, it is important that the limitations of these tools are acknowledged and that they are not
an finite assessment in themselves and that they should be used by a practitioner with a fundamental breadth of relevant
knowledge and an appreciation of the range of appropriate preventative equipment/techniques available and the role of the
multi-disciplinary team in the prevention of all avoidable pressure ulcers.
