(difficulty swallowing) and multiple pressure ulcers (injuries to the skin/tissue from prolonged pressure) on

pressure on the skin), pressure induced deep tissue damage of right and left heel (injuries to the soft
tissues beneath the skin, often caused by prolonged pressure or shear forces), and dysphagia (difficulty or
discomfort during swallowing).
