Potential Implication to Practice
) (
The barriers related to the proposed intervention could be n
egligence on patients and families
, nurses and other healthcare workers not to adhere to treatment
regimen by refusing to implement the prevalence method
introduced above. Ways to overcome this barrier is through
adequate teaching by engaging educational sections for families
and healthcare workers
(
Saleh
et al., 2019).

In the prevalence of pressure ulcer among the elderly, and
patient with decreased mobility in the hospital and healthcare
facilities, as in the sample population that the implementation
or use
of Braden Scale, applying
mepilex
silicon foam, to bony prominence area and repositioning
patients have proven to be very effective in the prevention of
pressure ulcers on at risk patients within the sample population
compare to the same at risk patient outside the sample
population that no prevalence method was used (
Saleh
et al., 2019). This is because decreased mobility impairs
circulation
leading to development of pressure
ulcers
which in turn leads to detrimental complications.
