Traditionally, nurses have been taught to look for areas of skin redness as the first signs of pressure damage to a patient's skin. However, in patients with black skin many early signs of damage may not be so visible. This paper describes the holistic approach nurses should take to assessing a person with darkly pigmented skin for pressure damage.
传统上,护士们被教导要寻找皮肤发红的区域,将其作为患者皮肤出现压力损伤的首要迹象。然而,对于黑色皮肤的患者来说,许多早期损伤迹象可能并不那么明显。本文描述了护士在评估色素沉着较深的患者是否有压力损伤时应采取的整体方法。
