Impact of Pressure Ulcers on Nursing Care Theory Project May 15‚ 2013 ADN 151 The issue that I identified as a healthcare safety topic currently impacting nursing is pressure ulcers. A pressure ulcer is localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence‚ as a result of pressure‚ or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. I chose this topic for my paper because as a future nurse I would like to be able to prevent any new injuries

Validity of the Braden and Waterlow subscales in predicting pressure ulcer risk in hospitalized patients. “ Pressure ulcer is a public health problem‚ which involves the biopsychosocial aspets of patients and their families. The development of pressure ulcers has an important impact on the patient’s quality of life‚ may affect metabolism‚ and results in prolonged hospital stay and need for specialized care with consequent increase cost.” (Serpa‚2011).

The article discussed three major ways to prevent heel pressure ulcers using pillows‚ a repose boot‚ and a wedge. At the end of the study the device with the most positive feedback and fewest complaints would be used as the heel pressure ulcer prevention device in the acute orthopedic setting at the hospital. Heel pressure ulcers could occur easily due to the bone structure of the heel and patient’s knowledge about how to prevent heel pressure ulcers. The original study was to be implemented only

And he hopes it will be the last time. Carl doesn’t like the pressure. He has had enough pressure just dealing with all the problems he has been encountering as the foreman of the planer department on the factory floor. What a nightmare this last month has been! Fortunately‚ the meeting had gone better than Carl had feared. The

Introduction: Systolic blood pressure‚ the highest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the left ventricle contracts. Diastolic blood pressure‚ the lowest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the ventricles relax and refill with blood just before the next ventricular contraction. We measure blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. To measure the systolic pressure‚ place the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm and
