Preventing pressure ulcers centers on protecting skin and relieving pressure, especially on bony prominences. Repositioning a patient every two hours directly reduces sustained pressure that can start ulcers. Using a draw sheet to assist with repositioning lowers friction and shear during movement, protecting the skin. Applying barrier creams for patients who are incontinent helps keep the skin dry and intact, guarding against moisture-related skin breakdown. A nutritional assessment conducted every eight hours is not a direct, hands-on prevention step for pressure ulcers; nutrition is important for overall skin health and healing, but routine hourly or eight-hourly assessments aren’t a standard intervention to minimize risk. Therefore, the nutritional assessment option is not among the listed interventions to minimize risk.
