Abstract: | Pressure sore prevention is a challenging aspect of caring for elderly patients who have sustained femoral neck fractures. Despite implementation of a pressure sore prevention policy, a small-scale audit revealed that almost half of patients who sustained femoral neck fractures developed Stage 1 or Stage 2 pressure sores while in hospital. The findings indicate the need for more proactive pressure sore prevention in A&E and theatres. |
