YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Review the medical records of a handful of residents admitted to your facility in the past few months and answer these questions:
- How many residents had an initial pressure ulcer risk assessment?
- What assessment instrument was used?
- How many residents had weekly reassessments in their first month?
- Of those residents who weren't reassessed, should some have been reassessed based on risk findings from their initial assessment?
- Based on this review, does your facility need to strengthen PU reassessment procedures?
Share your findings; please contact us . We will report your feedback for the benefit of others in future updates to this site.
