RA Case Study 1

Take a moment to consolidate your understanding of how to identify pressure-related and tissue tolerance-related risk factors responsible for developing a PU by completing two case studies.

Case Study 1. There are two pages within the patient’s file: the ‘Patient notes’ and a ‘RA table’. Click on either of these tabs to access the associated information. Firstly, click on the ‘Patient’s notes’ tab to review the patient’s notes, then complete a RA by clicking on the ‘RA table’. These two tabs are accessible to you at any time.
