I work at a subacute/LTC facility located within a medical center. Our turnover is rather quick but then so are the pressure sores we find on the heels and/or backsides of our residents. As a group we are rather diligent in our assessments for any and I mean any sort of skin breakdown. I'd like to know how other similar facilities are handling the assessment, prevention and care of actual or potential skin breakdowns. Do you have a specific work sheet to monitor prevention and/or healing. What about what equipment are you using. I would appreciate any and all information given.

that what I thought but is there any written documentation that this is allowed and acceptable practice. I'd like to be able to print out something to show my coworkers.

I'm a nurse in New Jersey and have been having this running discussion that nurses are allowed to make an addendum up to 24 hrs. I say we can and several other nurses on staff agree but there are a few that say that once your done and your shift is over there's no going back. If an addendum is allowed where does it say that we can do this. Is this NJ nurse policy?
