and if there is skin alteration such as pressure, non-pressure or surgical wounds, assessment and
documentation should be done weekly as it would give information about the wound that include drainage,
measurement, treatment, and status of the wound. Any skin alteration, need to have a treatment in place.
Treatment will make the wound healed and prevent infection. If there is no wound treatment, could lead to
infection, necrosis, worsening of wound. Braden scale assessment is to identify if the resident is at risk for
skin breakdown. It is done upon admission / readmission x 4 weeks then quarterly and significant change.

surgical site, nursing should make sure that a daily skin check is done. He said surgical site is a vulnerable
