Question 14 • Nursing Assistant - EL3610
Decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) can be prevented by reducing prolonged pressure and keeping the skin healthy. Repositioning the patient frequently and using pressure-reduction devices help relieve pressure, while proper skin care and good hydration support skin health. Cutting fat from the diet is not a standard preventive measure, and surgical repair treats an established ulcer rather than preventing one.
