Decubitus ulcer, it sounds like a fancy terms for the things that are alike
- a wounded created because of extreme pressure on the skin, which also cause
the skin to collapse. The occurrence of these wounds is regularly in care
settings that are long term. Now, by stating they occur frequently, it is not implied
that pressure ulcers are not avertable, or treatable. The true fact, that
wounds are suffered by thousands of long

excessive pressure can help avoid this condition. Turning schedules, good
nutrition, getting residents up, out of bed, out of their chairs - these are
ways to prevent pressure ulcers.
