Prevent Skin Bedsores by Learning About Pressure Ulcers in Elderly Clients
Pressure ulcers are painful, dangerous wounds that develop when seniors stay in one position for too long—especially those who are bedridden or wheelchair-bound. Without proper prevention, these sores can lead to serious infections, severe pain, and life-threatening complications. Many caregivers simply haven’t been trained to spot the early signs or take the right preventive steps.
The Pressure Ulcer Prevention Course gives caregivers the knowledge and hands-on strategies they need to protect clients from bedsores. Learners explore risk factors, common ulcer sites, early warning signs, the four stages of pressure ulcers, and step-by-step prevention methods for both bedridden and wheelchair-bound clients.
By the end of this course, caregivers will be equipped to prevent pressure ulcers proactively, recognize problems early, and apply safe techniques to protect comfort, mobility, and overall health—improving daily quality of life for every client they care for.
