Nutrition to prevent and treat pressure ulcers???

Published

Hi all. I need your help and guidance on this topic. I am a student nurse, I am writing an essay on evidence based practice. I am interested to find out about the role of nutrition in the prevention of pressure ulcers. I only found 2 studies:confused: and would like more studies on this topic. It could be a cohort study, an expert opinion or a systematic review.

Please if you know any website, please post it for me.

Many thanks:)

Nutrition plays a huge role. When a dietician forms a diet for a patient with a pressure ulcer, he/she considers heavily what is needed in order to optimize wound healing.

There must be more articles on this, nutrition is huge in wound healing.
