Review of the facility policy titled Skin Care and Wound Management undated revealed the facility staff would identify residents at risk for the development of pressure ulcers, provide daily monitoring of existing wounds, and implement prevention strategies to decrease the potential for developing pressure ulcers. Review of the NPUAP guidelines dated 2014 pages 70-71 at https://npiap.com/general/custom.asp?page=2014Guidelines revealed facilities should educate health professionals on how to undertake a comprehensive skin assessment that included the techniques for identifying blanching response, localized heat, edema, and induration. Further review of the guidelines revealed ongoing assessment of the skin was necessary in order to detect early signs of pressure damage. Visual assessment for erythema (redness of the skin) was the first component of every skin inspection. Skin redness and tissue edema resulting from capillary occlusion was a response to pressure, especially over bony prominences. Staff should conduct a head-to-toe assessment with particular focus on skin overlying bony prominences including the sacrum, ischial tuberosities, greater trochanters and heels and each time the patient was repositioned was an opportunity to conduct a brief skin assessment. 365424 Page 14 of 19 365424 05/27/2025 Southbrook Healthcare Center 2299 S Yellow Springs Street Springfield, OH 45506
