Consistent Practices in Pressure Injury Prevention at Long-term Care Facilities
CONCLUSIONS
Although respondents reported a moderate level of PI prevention based on international guidelines, there were often no consistent practices in the units. Further education about PI prevention might improve the consistent practice of evidence-based PI prevention. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)

Intensive Care Pressure Injuries: A Cohort Study Using the CALCULATE and Braden Scales
CONCLUSIONS
Patients in intensive care were high risk according to both PI scales, and many developed PIs. It is evident that even when preventive measures are used, they are insufficient without the implementation of preventive protocols. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)

Applying the Nightingale Pledge in Reducing Health Disparities: A Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury Case Study
Professional nurses, by virtue of their training, pledge to care for individuals who are sick or infirm. This commitment is confirmed via the Nightingale Pledge, which focuses on public health and equity and deems the nurse to be a missioner of health. Health disparities exist in direct conflict with the nursing responsibility of caritas, or love. Accordingly, it is imperative that nurse educators create learning environments that are conducive to comfortably discussing differences in physical assessments performed on diverse populations as part of their work to eliminate health disparities and in accordance with the Night...

Evidence-Based Prevention and Management of Pressure Injuries in Home Care: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSIONS
The use of protocols for the prevention and management of PIs, including evidence-based interventions in home care, and adherence to existing protocols were low. Comprehensive observational and randomized controlled studies are necessary to improve evidence-based prevention and management of PIs in home care settings. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)

An Interprofessional Approach to Preventing Tracheostomy-Related Pressure Injuries
CONCLUSIONS
Use of the bundle resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of TRPI. Timely escalation of possible tracheostomy injuries or tracheostomies at risk enabled rapid intervention, likely preventing many injuries, and real-time feedback to clinicians reinforced best practices. Interprofessional collaboration is necessary to provide optimal tracheostomy care and ensure the best outcomes. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)

Malnutrition and Pressure Injury Risk in Vulnerable Populations: Application of the 2019 International Clinical Practice Guideline
Nutrition plays a vital role in promoting skin integrity and supporting tissue repair in the presence of chronic wounds such as pressure injuries (PIs). Individuals who are malnourished are at greater risk of polymorbid conditions, adverse clinical outcomes, longer hospital lengths of stay, PI development, and mortality, and incur increased healthcare costs compared with patients who are adequately nourished. In addition, some patient populations tend to be more vulnerable to PI formation, such as neonates, patients with obesity, older adults, and individuals who are critically ill. Accordingly, this article aims to review...

Neonatal Skin Structure: Pressure Injury Staging Challenges
CONCLUSIONS
The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel staging system can be difficult to implement accurately in the neonatal population. Further study is warranted to determine whether an alternative staging system may provide more accurate and actionable information for this population. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)

Weight Surveillance and Heart Failure Self-assessment in Patients with Chronic Leg Wounds: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS
Despite the use of an evaluation tool, the intervention and comparison groups had no significantly different outcomes. It is unclear if the intervention was not effective because of the methodology or study limitations. Further research with a larger sample, standardized tools for wound assessment, and a lengthier intervention phase is recommended. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)
