1.1 General information
Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention.
The Softform®Premier Active 2 mattress will positively contribute to
the outcome of a pressure ulcer prevention care plan*.
Education, clinical judgement and action based planning based on
vulnerability are fundamental factors in prevention of pressure ulcers.
A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method of
assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in
conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judgement).
Informal assessment is considered to be of greater importance and
clinical value.
Please heed all the notes, particularly the safety information, and act
accordingly.
