1.1 General information
Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention.
The
Invacare
Viscomixt®mattress will positively contribute to the
outcome of a pressure ulcer prevention care plan.
Education, clinical judgement and action based planning based on vulne-
rability are fundamental factors in prevention of pressure ulcers.
A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method of
assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in
conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judge-
ment). Informal assessment is considered to be of greater importance
and clinical value.
Please heed all the notes, particularly the safety information, and act
accordingly.
