NSQHS Comprehensive Care Standard: 5.23 Preventing and managing pressure injuries
Action 5.23 states
The health service organisation providing services to patients at risk of pressure injuries ensures that:
Patients, carers and families are provided with information about preventing pressure injuries
Equipment, devices and products are used in line with best-practice guidelines to prevent and effectively manage pressure injuries
Standards for Wound Prevention and Management
The Standards for Wound Prevention and Management presented in this revised third edition provide a framework for promoting best practice in wound prevention and management as they reflect current evidence. The Standards are a valuable tool for guiding clinical practice and the development of policies, procedures and education programs. The aim of the Standards is to facilitate quality care outcomes for individuals with wounds or at risk of wounding.
Wound Management: A Nurse's Guide
Wound management is one of the cornerstones of good nursing care. Effective wound care extends far beyond the application of the wound dressing. Nurses and nursing assistants may be required to assess, plan, implement and evaluate wound care. In order to fulfil these roles, it's critical to have an understanding of the several basic procedures involved in wound care.
In this programme we examine skin anatomy, the classification of wounds, wound procedures, wound dressings, and documentation. Knowledge in each of these areas will allow nurses and nursing assistants to make well informed decisions about wound care and ultimately play an active part in promoting wound healing.
Aged Care: Effective Wound Management
Safe skilled practice is central to the principles of nursing. With increasing demands for health professionals to strive for higher standards of care, many nurses are returning to the basics which underpin expert clinical practice in order to review and update their current knowledge and skills.
Maintaining asepsis in acute wound management is just one of many basic skills, which together create a solid foundation on which to build and support excellence in patient care delivery.
This programme has been developed with the purpose of marrying the principles of infection control with an aseptic, no-touch technique thus promoting the optimum environment for wound healing.
Wound Management: Staging Pressure Areas
This crucial programme addresses wound management and helps coach your staff in the principles of good skin care and the management of pressure areas. It describes the four stages of pressure areas and the most common sites for pressure area development. The film will help your staff learn the causes and risks of pressure area development and perform a nursing assessment of a wound and discuss the principles of wound care.
Skin Integrity and Pressure Ulcers
At some point in their careers, most nurses and nursing assistants will care for patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers are distressing, debilitating and difficult to manage. Yet in many cases pressure ulcers are readily preventable.
In this programme we see how understanding the causes and staging of pressure ulcers can lead to improved management.
We also determine the best ways to assess a patient's risk of developing them, and discuss preventative actions like correct positioning and turning, measures that can be taken to protect skin integrity, and early intervention and treatment options.
