| pressure sore |
A skin wound commonly called a bedsore. Areas most likely to develop pressure sores are heels, elbows, shoulders and the bony parts of a person's bottom, spots where pressure from bones is exerted against skin. To prevent pressure sores, patients should be repositioned every two or three hours so blood is allowed to flow to the endangered areas, their skin should be kept clean and dry, and they should sit or lie on ample cushioning to reduce the pressure.
