Pressure Ulcers in the Medically Ill - Physician Module
In a series of three patient case simulations, participants examine the scope
and importance of the problem of pressure ulcers in vulnerable populations and
identify those at risk, exploring interventional techniques to mitigate the
development of pressure ulcers. Learners differentiate pressure ulcers from
other types of wounds or skin disorders and apply appropriate treatment interventions
to optimize patient care outcomes and avoid medical errors.
