Course Description Understand the cost of Pressure Injuries (PI) in addition to the causes, risk factors, interventions and prevention strategies. The National Pressure Injury Advisory Program (NPIAP) guidelines for staging a PI are also presented, including examples to help learners stage a pressure injury. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to: Understand the epidemiology of a pressure injury Identify measures to prevent pressure injuries Recognize key strategies to a successful Pressure Injury Prevention Program Course Author This course was developed as part of Medline’s Global Health Initiative and is an extension of an education collaboration in Argentina between local nurses in Salta, Nurses Specialized in Wound Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC), and the Corporate Social Responsibility team at Medline
Course Description Pressure injuries can be a serious issue in the perioperative department. Skin damage and pressure injury formation can continue even after the pressure has been relieved; a skin injury that presents 72 hours after surgery is now recognized as starting in the perioperative area
Course Description This short 20 minute webinar exploring skin injuries other than pressure injuries/ulcers- specifically moisture associated skin damage (MASD) including incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD), intertriginous dermatitis (ITD), medical adhesive associated skin injury (MARSI), and skin tears
Course Description Pressure injury in the emergency department (ED) is important. Patients are at a greater risk of developing a pressure injury the longer they stay in the ED, where focus is on more immediate medical needs
Course Description One of the top motivators to perform regular skin assessment on patients or residents is to prevent and treat pressure injuries, especially over bony prominences. But, did you know that the medical devices used to monitor or treat individuals and their conditions can be additional sources of pressure? In this course, we will review the etiology of medical device-related pressure injuries, factors that contribute to the development of medical device-related pressure injuries, and best practices for minimizing the risk for medical device-related pressure injuries. Learning Objectives Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to: Identify high-risk devices Review protective measures that can reduce the occurrence of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) Understand the cause and prevalence of MDRPIs Intended Audience This course is intended for nurses
Course Description Minimizing or redistributing pressure can seem like a full-time job just by itself. Take time to review the areas prone to pressure damage and learn how pressure can be redistributed through turning and support surfaces. Learning Objectives Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to: Describe the differences between the forces of friction, shear, and pressure Identify areas at high risk for pressure and pressure injuries Explore ways to redistribute pressure through offloading and repositioning Intended Audience This course is intended for nurses
Course Description This course guides you through the risks that contribute to pressure injuries. Review the various pressure injury risk assessment tools and learn how to determine the right tool for your patient or resident. Learning Objectives Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to: Understand what a pressure injury is Describe the layers of the skin Identify risk factors for skin breakdown Intended Audience This course is intended for nurses
