pressure ulcers from other types of wounds or skin disorders and apply
appropriate treatment interventions to optimize patient care outcomes
and avoid medical errors.

Pressure Ulcers in
the Medically Ill - For Nurses PROGRAM
(.pdf)
As learners manage pressure ulcers and their
complications (pain, odor, etc.) in simulated patients with different
stages of pressure ulcers, they work with a virtual care team to optimize
care of the "whole" patient. They review effective communication and education supports for patients with pressure ulcers and their caregivers so that patients and family caregivers can work with healthcare providers to eliminate the occurrence of new pressure ulcers and the progression of existing pressure ulcers and to monitor pressure ulcer healing.
