Memo (France): To prevent pressure injuries, the team checks the skin at every wash and each change of position. Pay special attention to the pressure points: heels, sacrum, hips and elbows. Redness that does not disappear after 10 minutes is a warning sign, even if the skin is intact.

If you see a wound, lesion or swelling, note the location, size (small or large) and any pain. Follow the hygiene protocol: wash your hands, wear gloves, clean gently with water and soap, and apply a clean dressing if needed. Inform the nurse if the area becomes warm, gives off an unpleasant odor or the patient has a fever: this may indicate an infection.

  1. Quels points d’appui faut-il surveiller régulièrement et pourquoi ?

    (Which pressure points should be checked regularly and why?)

  2. Quelles actions devez-vous faire et noter si vous observez une plaie ou un œdème ?

    (What actions should you take and record if you observe a wound or swelling?)

(This morning I performed Mr. Leroy’s skin assessment. He often stays in bed, so I checked the pressure areas, especially the heels and the sacrum. I observed redness and a slight swelling on the right heel. He said he has less sensation in that area. I cleaned the small wound, applied a dressing and followed the hygiene protocol. Then I noted a risk of a pressure ulcer and reminded him to change position every two hours.)
