What should residents do if they have found a pressure area?
Ask residents to let you or another staff member know as soon as possible, so that the pressure area can be treated. Assure residents that it is better for staff to be told early, rather than for the resident to wait until they are feeling discomfort.
Let residents know that the best way for them to avoid pressure areas is to:
- move, move, move
- look after their skin
- eat a balanced diet.
