Pressure Injury and Prevention
Pressure injuries most often arise on skin that covers bony areas of the body, such as the heels, ankles, hips and tailbone. People who are most at risk of pressure injuries have medical conditions that keep them from changing positions or spend most of their time in a bed or a chair. Most pressure injuries heal with treatment, but some never heal completely. A preventative approach is the best defense for hindering the development of pressure injuries.
