Consciousness is always the first course of action!
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Bedsores are injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin such as laying down for a prolonged period of time. The best way to prevent/ remedy bedsores is to simply reposition the patient. When a healthcare provider is going to move a patient it is paramount that the patient knows who you are and what procedure you are going to preform on them. Nothing would be worse if you unknowingly woke up to a nurse awkwardly trying to reposition you. Once this is addressed a healthcare provider may ask the patient where the sore is located and if it is causing excessive pain. This not only allows for the healthcare provider to effectively treat the bedsore but ensures that the patients stay at the facility is as comfortable and non-invasive as possible.
Hope this helps!
