Risk AssessmentRisk Assessment
Guidance states
“Although the requirements do not mandate any specific assessment tool, other than the RAI, validated instruments are available to assess risk for developing pressure ulcers”

“Regardless of any resident’s total risk score, the clinicians responsibility for the resident’s care should review each risk factor and potential cause(s) individually”
“an overall risk score indicating the resident is not at high risk of developing pressure ulcers does not mean that existing risk factors or causes should be considered less important or addressed less vigorously than those factors or causes in the resident whose overall score indicates he or she is at a higher risk of developing a pressure ulcer.”

Prevention Interventions Prevention Interventions Choose appropriate pressure reducing Choose appropriate pressure reducing
surfaces while in bed and sittingsurfaces while in bed and sitting
Pressure Reduction: Is the reduction of interface pressure, not necessarily below capillary closure pressure
Pressure Relief: Is the reduction of interface pressure below capillary closure pressure
Capillary closing pressure is also individual to the resident
![Page 12: 1 F314 Follow-up Clinical Training January 23, 2006 Presented by Jeri Lundgren, RN, CWS, CWCN Wound Care Consultant Pathway Health Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515757a550346486b8b507e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Support SurfacesSupport Surfaces There is no standardize testing or requirements
for support surfaces There is no set mandate or recommendation as
to when a specific type of support surface should be used.
Guidance states:“Appropriate support surfaces or devices should be
chosen by matching a device’s potential therapeutic benefit with the resident’s specific situation: for example, multiple ulcers, limited turning surfaces and ability to maintain position.”
![Page 13: 1 F314 Follow-up Clinical Training January 23, 2006 Presented by Jeri Lundgren, RN, CWS, CWCN Wound Care Consultant Pathway Health Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515757a550346486b8b507e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Support SurfacesSupport Surfaces Surveyors should consider the following
pressure redistribution issues:– Static devices (e.g., solid foam or gel
mattresses) may be indicated when a resident is at risk or delayed healing. A specialized reduction cushion or surface might be used to extend the time a resident is sitting in a chair; however, the cushion does not eliminate the necessity for periodic repositioning
![Page 14: 1 F314 Follow-up Clinical Training January 23, 2006 Presented by Jeri Lundgren, RN, CWS, CWCN Wound Care Consultant Pathway Health Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515757a550346486b8b507e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Support SurfacesSupport Surfaces pressure redistribution issues
continued:– Dynamic pressure reduction surfaces may be
helpful when:» The resident can’t assume a variety of positions
without bearing weight on a pressure ulcer» The resident completely compresses a static
device » The pressure ulcer is not healing as expected,
and it is determined that pressure may be contributing to the delay in healing

Support SurfacesSupport Surfaces Use of recliners, guidance states
“The care plan for a resident who is reclining and is dependent on staff for repositioning should address position changes to maintain the resident’s skin integrity.”…..”Elevating the head of the bed or the back of a reclining chair to or above a 30 degree angle creates pressure comparable to that exerted while sitting, and requires the same considerations regarding repositioning as those for a dependent resident who is seated.”
![Page 17: 1 F314 Follow-up Clinical Training January 23, 2006 Presented by Jeri Lundgren, RN, CWS, CWCN Wound Care Consultant Pathway Health Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515757a550346486b8b507e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Support SurfacesSupport Surfaces Recliners continued
– Remember off-loading is one full minute of pressure relief
– Is the turning schedule in the best interest for the resident or per their wishes or is it in the best interest for staff
Foam vs. Gel vs. Air wheelchair cushions– Overall ensure it is the best for the individual resident
![Page 18: 1 F314 Follow-up Clinical Training January 23, 2006 Presented by Jeri Lundgren, RN, CWS, CWCN Wound Care Consultant Pathway Health Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515757a550346486b8b507e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Prevention InterventionsPrevention Interventions Develop an INDIVIDUALIZED turning & repositioning
schedule Tissue tolerance is the ability of the skin and it’s
supporting structures to endure the effects of pressure with out adverse effects
There is no standard/mandated “Tissue Tolerance Test”
“A skin inspection should be done, which should include an evaluation of the skin integrity and tissue tolerance, after pressure to that area, has been reduced or redistributed”
![Page 19: 1 F314 Follow-up Clinical Training January 23, 2006 Presented by Jeri Lundgren, RN, CWS, CWCN Wound Care Consultant Pathway Health Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515757a550346486b8b507e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Prevention InterventionsPrevention Interventions
After skin integrity and tissue tolerance has been assessed the resident then should be put on an appropriate INDIVIDUALZED turning and repositioning program
Ongoing monitoring of tissue tolerance and skin integrity should be done
Recommend assessing skin integrity and tissue tolerance upon admission and with a significant change of condition

eschar covering with no signs or symptoms of
edema,erythema, fluctuance, or drainage, do NOT
need debridement
