How to Determine If Your Loved One Has Bed Sores
Bed sores, also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers, occur when an immobile patient is not turned over at regular intervals. These sores develop at the pressure points where the bones push against the bed, such as at the hipbone or elbow. The skin will deteriorate at these points, leaving open sores that can lead to infections and possibly even death.
It is imperative that nursing home employees turn invalid patients at regular intervals to prevent these sores from forming. If they do form, it is equally important that the bedsores are discovered and treated rapidly to prevent further harm. If you notice bedsores on your relative, it may be a sign of negligence on the part of the nursing home.
