Slide 55: Check Your Understanding: Pressure Ulcer Count by Month Quiz
- The Pressure Ulcer Counts by Month Report may be used by the quality improvement team to identify a unit where there is a trend for pressure ulcers to worsen.
- True
- False
Slide 56: Check Your Understanding: Pressure Ulcer Count by Month Quiz
- If a unit is identified with a trend for worsening pressure ulcers, what questions would the quality improvement committee ask?
- Were these residents identified as at risk for delayed healing of their pressure ulcers?
- What interventions were written into their care plans to promote healing?
- Were the interventions in the care plan developed by a multidisciplinary team? If so, which disciplines were involved?
- Were the interventions written in the care plan carried out? Why or why not?
- All of the above
Slide 57: Check Your Understanding: Pressure Ulcer Count by Month Quiz
