392 Pressure Area Care
A healthcare professional should reassess a person's pressure ulcer risk:
- after surgery or other investigation
- if they move to a different care setting
- if their underlying condition worsens
- after a change in their mobility.
If the person has several risk factors or a history of pressure ulcers, they should be assessed as being at high risk of developing a pressure ulcer. A trained healthcare professional should complete a skin assessment for anyone assessed as high risk.
