-fecal or urinary incontinence
-poor nutrition
Individuals at risk for pressure ulcers - ANS -older adults that have experienced a
trauma
-those with spinal cord injuries
-those who have sustained a fractured hip
-those in long-term homes or community care, the acutely ill
-individuals with diabetes
-patients in critical care settings (ICU)
Dermis - ANS inner layer of skin, provides tensile strength, mechanical support, and
protection for the underlying muscles, bones, and organs
Tissue Ischemia - ANS Pressure applied over a capillary exceeds the normal capillary
pressure, and the vessel is occluded for a prolonged period of time.
Dermal-epidermal junction - ANS separates dermis and epidermis
3 pressure related factors that contribute to pressure ulcer development - ANS -
pressure intensity
-pressure duration

Tertiary Wound Healing - ANS -wound that is left open to air for several days, then
wound edges are approximated

-closure of wound is delayed until risk of infection is resolved
Acute Wound - ANS -wound that proceeds through an orderly and timely reparative
process
-ex: trauma, surgical incision
-wound edges are clean and intact
Chronic Wound - ANS -wound that fails to proceed through an orderly and timely
process
-ex: vascular compromise, chronic inflammation, or repetitive insults to tissue
