Literature Review
Introduction
Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers are
injuries which to the skin and the underlying tissues which
result from too much pressure on the skin. There are different
risk factors for pressure ulcers which are very crucial in
determining the type of treatment or prevention to be
administered to a patient. This includes poor mobility, poor
blood flow, poor nutritional status, the patient support surfaces,
age, and neuropathy among others. For each of these risk
factors, there are different interventions which can be used by
healthcare professionals to prevent and treat pressure ulcers.
The purpose of this essay is to evaluate how different research
questions can be developed focusing on the risk factor of poor
nutritional status. Whereas the PICOT statement outlines the
interest areas of this research, this report will analyze important
components of different PICOT research questions.
Comparison of research questions
Poor nutrition is a significant risk factor for pressure ulcers.
Even though there are a few researches which support this
argument, the lack of proper nutrition increases the risk of
patients developing pressure ulcers (Frykberg, & Banks, 2015).
Based on evidence from credible sources, there are two distinct
research questions which can be developed to investigate the
relationship between nutrition and prevalence of pressure
ulcers. The first question is whether providing necessary
nutritional requirements to patients reduces their risk of
developing pressure ulcers. The second question is whether
providing additional nutritional supplementation to patients
with pressure ulcers improve healing.
The first question relates directly to the PICOT statement and
focuses on establishing whether the provision of certain
nutrients to patients will prevent the incidence of the condition.
As such this research would only be viable for patients who
don’t have pressure ulcers. The second question, on the other
hand, investigates whether enhancing the nutritional intake of
patients helps in treating pressure ulcers. According to the
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (2014), there
are different nutrients which are known to enhance pressure
ulcer repair through collagen formation and development of
connective tissue. These nutrients include vitamin C, protein,
and zinc. This research is viable for patients who already have
pressure ulcers. Even though each of these research questions
aims at investigating the impact on nutrition on the prevalence
of the condition, the second research question would be more
effective. This is because in the first question other risk factors
may have a huge impact on the research.
Comparison of sample populations
The population at high risk of developing pressure ulcers is
adults who suffer from conditions such as spinal cord injury,
stroke, or old age which makes them immobile. For each of the
research, it would be important to identify a target population
which shares a close similarity. This is because the incidence of
pressure ulcers is dependent on the environment of the patient.
For example, it may be difficult to identify early signs of
pressure ulcers for a patient with a skin condition which affects
the normal appearance of the skin. For the first research
question, the sample population will only include patients who
have not contracted pressure but are at risk of contracting the
disease due to their health conditions. For example, patients
who are admitted for bed rest for a long time. For the second
research question, it will be important to sample patients who
are initially under the same conditions and environments. For
example, the research will primarily focus on patients with
spinal injury in a particular from a particular nursing home.
This means that each of the patients receives similar care
service and is given the same foods or foods with similar
nutritional values. The control group will then be introduced to
foods with additional nutrients which are known to reduce the
effect of pressure ulcers.
Comparison of the limitation of the study
For the first research question, the main limitation of the study
is that it may be difficult to evaluate the effects of other risk
factors on the outcomes of the research. For example, it may be
challenging to determine whether a patient developed pressure
ulcers due to poor nutrition or factors such as age, pain which
may prevent patients from moving, or the condition of the
supporting surface. The limitation of the second research,
however, may be majorly science-based. For example, pressure
ulcers are caused by both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria (Dana,
& Bauman, 2015). As such, different nutritional requirements
may be needed in order to destroy them. For both types of
research, the major limitation is that the use of a small sample
population may not represent all the patients and as such, the
research can only be relevant to preventing certain cases of the
disease.
Conclusion
Both presented research questions present valid approaches for
investigating the relevance of nutrition in preventing and
treating pressure ulcers. From each research study, the expected
outcome will include a list of essential nutrients which are
necessary for the prevention of the condition. Nonetheless,
different patients have different health and nutritional needs
which is related to their age, general body metabolism, or other
factors. This may cause some irregularities of the results. As
such, there is a need to include intensive scientific and clinical
interventions during the project to ensure that causes of
irregularities are identified and justified. This project can be
used to improve further research to determine the specific
nutritional needs which are needed to address the different
kinds of pressure ulcers; either caused by aerobic or anaerobic
bacteria.

Running Head: PRESSURE ULCERS2
Title: Pressure Ulcers
Student Name: Vladimir Andino
Institution: GCU
Date: 01/27/2019
High cases of pressure ulcers are recorded with patients who
have been admitted to hospitals. It is a skin and tissue which is
highly identified with people who are bed-bound or those
people who have little or no mobility. Therefore, it is a
condition that I have seen with most patients who have been
admitted to the hospital. This condition is therefore important
and needs to be addressed in order to come up with solutions on
how to deal with it.
Pressure ulcers can be described as a condition where the skin
and the underlying tissues are injured due to applied pressure on
that point for a very long time. It is also referred to as bed sore
(Chauhan, 2012). It affects areas which are bony such as elbows
and knees. The major symptom of pressure ulcers are deep
wounds at the affected area. In severe cases, the wounds may
reach the bones and this may cause other complications on the
patient if not treated. It mainly affects older people and patients
who have been confined in their hospital bed (Jaul, 2010).
However, it is a manageable condition especially if treated at an
early stage.
The impact of Pressure ulcers on the working environment is
that it has led to the incorporation of more specialized care on
the patients. The nurses have to change the patient’s position
frequently. This further implies that nurses have to be more
careful and offer additional help to the patients. However, it
impacts the patient negatively. Pressure ulcers lead to other
complications that in turn lead to death. It is a condition that
also comes with a lot of pain, discomfort and more days in
hospitals (Professor, 2009).
The significance of this topic is that it has brought awareness of
Pressure ulcers. People are now aware of this condition and are
taking measures to prevent it (R, 2008). One implication on
nursing is that nursing patterns have to change. This is because
when dealing with pressure ulcers, special attention is given to
patients. Also, the nurses have to take initiative to educate
patients on ways to deal with Pressure ulcers. With Pressure
ulcers awareness, patients will comply more and adhere to the
measures of managing pressure ulcers. Therefore the main
implication on nursing is creating awareness to patients and
guiding them on how to deal with pressure ulcers.
As a solution to this problem, nurses should be engaged in a
health program dealing with Pressure ulcers. Under these
programs, the nurses will be equipped with skills and
knowledge on how to deal with patients with pressure ulcers
(Irene M.JankowskiR.N, 2011). They will also learn how to
detect pressure ulcers at early stages. Another solution to this
problem is the availability of equipment for measuring pressure
on the vulnerable areas. This will help in the detection of
pressure ulcers before they become severe (Jill Cox, 2011).
Finally, a health program for patients raising the awareness of
Pressure ulcers is very important. This is because they will have
the basic information on how to prevent, detect and deal with
pressure ulcers (Levine, 2012)
In conclusion, Pressure ulcers have been on the rise and they
have to be dealt with. Having identified who it affects, how it is
treated and managed, it is up to the nurse, patients, and the
public to apply actions which will lead to a reduction of
Pressure ulcers cases. In doing this, we will overcome this
problem of Pressure Ulcers.

Pressure Ulcers Prevention in Nursing Facilities

Picot Statement paper on Pressure ulcers prevention in nursing
facilities
Pressure ulcers or bedsores are injuries that occur on the skin
surface when it is exposed to too much pressure. These injuries
can occur to any individual, but the most affected population is
sick people who are confined in bed, or people who sit in a
wheelchair or chair for long periods. The major risk factors that
predispose individuals to this ailment include immobility,
health problems which limit blood flow, poor nutrition, and loss
of sensation due to impairment of sensory perception. This
study focuses on developing a PICOT statement that will aid in
limiting the incidences of pressure ulcers in nursing facilities.

T (Timeframe)
Period before and after intervention
Problem (Pressure ulcers in nursing facilities)
Patients in nursing facilities are at a higher risk of contracting
pressure ulcers because their poor health may cause them to
lack the energy to adjust their bed elevations regularly. This
population also experience mobility problems, and they may
also fail to detect the injuries in good time due to lack of
sensory perceptions (Stechmiller, 2010). Too much pain because
of other ailments may also cause them to underestimate the
effects of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers is thus a significant
healthcare problem in nursing facilities that need to be checked.
Intervention (Proper nutrition)
Though pressure ulcers are popularly known to be caused by
immobility problems, poor nutrition also plays a substantial role
in influencing the disease. Failing to include sufficient
vitamins, minerals, calories, proteins, and fluids in the patients’
diet in order to maintain healthy skin predisposes the patients to
more risk of contracting pressure ulcers (Shahin et al., 2010).
This study will thus involve provision of patients in nursing
facility A with all the necessary food materials for maintaining
a healthy skin. A change in diet will thus have to occur, and
nurses in the nursing facility will oversee the implementation of
the intervention. Nurses in the care facility will however, be
enlightened on the specific nutritional foods that should be
given to the patients. Other factors that predispose patients to
pressure ulcers will remain unaltered.
Comparison (Patient population not currently receiving the
intervention)
The results of the intervention will be compared to a nursing
facility B that will not have adopted the intervention. Nursing
facility B will also be monitored throughout the experiment
though no intervention will be executed.
Outcome (Less patient ulcers in nursing care facilities)
The results of the experiment show that the instances of
pressure ulcers in the nursing facility reduced significantly
since the time the intervention was implemented. The results
thus implied that poor nutrition plays a vital role in causing
pressure ulcers, and thus implementing proper nutrition can help
significantly in reducing the effects. When the results were
compared with those of nursing facility B, which had not
received the intervention, the facility was found to have
increased the instances of pressure ulcers.
Timeframe (Period before and after the intervention)
The intervention program in this study took a period of three
months, and it involved patients in nursing facilities who had
significant immobility challenges. Proper nutrition was given
preference because it would help in maintaining a healthy skin,
and hence the skin would be more resilient to pressure ulcers
(Stechmiller, 2010). Before implementation of the intervention
program records about pressure ulcers on the patient population
were taken so that they could be compared with the end results
of the intervention.

Running head LITERATURE REVIEW 1LITERA.docx

  • 1. Running head: LITERATURE REVIEW 1 LITERATURE REVIEW 6 Literature Review Student’s name: Vladimir Andino University affiliation: GCU Date: 02/25/19 Literature Review Introduction Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers are injuries which to the skin and the underlying tissues which result from too much pressure on the skin. There are different risk factors for pressure ulcers which are very crucial in determining the type of treatment or prevention to be administered to a patient. This includes poor mobility, poor blood flow, poor nutritional status, the patient support surfaces, age, and neuropathy among others. For each of these risk
  • 2. factors, there are different interventions which can be used by healthcare professionals to prevent and treat pressure ulcers. The purpose of this essay is to evaluate how different research questions can be developed focusing on the risk factor of poor nutritional status. Whereas the PICOT statement outlines the interest areas of this research, this report will analyze important components of different PICOT research questions. Comparison of research questions Poor nutrition is a significant risk factor for pressure ulcers. Even though there are a few researches which support this argument, the lack of proper nutrition increases the risk of patients developing pressure ulcers (Frykberg, & Banks, 2015). Based on evidence from credible sources, there are two distinct research questions which can be developed to investigate the relationship between nutrition and prevalence of pressure ulcers. The first question is whether providing necessary nutritional requirements to patients reduces their risk of developing pressure ulcers. The second question is whether providing additional nutritional supplementation to patients with pressure ulcers improve healing. The first question relates directly to the PICOT statement and focuses on establishing whether the provision of certain nutrients to patients will prevent the incidence of the condition. As such this research would only be viable for patients who don’t have pressure ulcers. The second question, on the other hand, investigates whether enhancing the nutritional intake of patients helps in treating pressure ulcers. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (2014), there are different nutrients which are known to enhance pressure ulcer repair through collagen formation and development of connective tissue. These nutrients include vitamin C, protein, and zinc. This research is viable for patients who already have pressure ulcers. Even though each of these research questions
  • 3. aims at investigating the impact on nutrition on the prevalence of the condition, the second research question would be more effective. This is because in the first question other risk factors may have a huge impact on the research. Comparison of sample populations The population at high risk of developing pressure ulcers is adults who suffer from conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or old age which makes them immobile. For each of the research, it would be important to identify a target population which shares a close similarity. This is because the incidence of pressure ulcers is dependent on the environment of the patient. For example, it may be difficult to identify early signs of pressure ulcers for a patient with a skin condition which affects the normal appearance of the skin. For the first research question, the sample population will only include patients who have not contracted pressure but are at risk of contracting the disease due to their health conditions. For example, patients who are admitted for bed rest for a long time. For the second research question, it will be important to sample patients who are initially under the same conditions and environments. For example, the research will primarily focus on patients with spinal injury in a particular from a particular nursing home. This means that each of the patients receives similar care service and is given the same foods or foods with similar nutritional values. The control group will then be introduced to foods with additional nutrients which are known to reduce the effect of pressure ulcers. Comparison of the limitation of the study For the first research question, the main limitation of the study is that it may be difficult to evaluate the effects of other risk factors on the outcomes of the research. For example, it may be challenging to determine whether a patient developed pressure
  • 4. ulcers due to poor nutrition or factors such as age, pain which may prevent patients from moving, or the condition of the supporting surface. The limitation of the second research, however, may be majorly science-based. For example, pressure ulcers are caused by both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria (Dana, & Bauman, 2015). As such, different nutritional requirements may be needed in order to destroy them. For both types of research, the major limitation is that the use of a small sample population may not represent all the patients and as such, the research can only be relevant to preventing certain cases of the disease. Conclusion Both presented research questions present valid approaches for investigating the relevance of nutrition in preventing and treating pressure ulcers. From each research study, the expected outcome will include a list of essential nutrients which are necessary for the prevention of the condition. Nonetheless, different patients have different health and nutritional needs which is related to their age, general body metabolism, or other factors. This may cause some irregularities of the results. As such, there is a need to include intensive scientific and clinical interventions during the project to ensure that causes of irregularities are identified and justified. This project can be used to improve further research to determine the specific nutritional needs which are needed to address the different kinds of pressure ulcers; either caused by aerobic or anaerobic bacteria.

  • 16. High cases of pressure ulcers are recorded with patients who have been admitted to hospitals. It is a skin and tissue which is highly identified with people who are bed-bound or those people who have little or no mobility. Therefore, it is a condition that I have seen with most patients who have been admitted to the hospital. This condition is therefore important and needs to be addressed in order to come up with solutions on how to deal with it. Pressure ulcers can be described as a condition where the skin and the underlying tissues are injured due to applied pressure on that point for a very long time. It is also referred to as bed sore (Chauhan, 2012). It affects areas which are bony such as elbows and knees. The major symptom of pressure ulcers are deep wounds at the affected area. In severe cases, the wounds may reach the bones and this may cause other complications on the patient if not treated. It mainly affects older people and patients who have been confined in their hospital bed (Jaul, 2010). However, it is a manageable condition especially if treated at an early stage. The impact of Pressure ulcers on the working environment is that it has led to the incorporation of more specialized care on the patients. The nurses have to change the patient’s position frequently. This further implies that nurses have to be more careful and offer additional help to the patients. However, it impacts the patient negatively. Pressure ulcers lead to other complications that in turn lead to death. It is a condition that also comes with a lot of pain, discomfort and more days in hospitals (Professor, 2009). The significance of this topic is that it has brought awareness of Pressure ulcers. People are now aware of this condition and are
  • 17. taking measures to prevent it (R, 2008). One implication on nursing is that nursing patterns have to change. This is because when dealing with pressure ulcers, special attention is given to patients. Also, the nurses have to take initiative to educate patients on ways to deal with Pressure ulcers. With Pressure ulcers awareness, patients will comply more and adhere to the measures of managing pressure ulcers. Therefore the main implication on nursing is creating awareness to patients and guiding them on how to deal with pressure ulcers. As a solution to this problem, nurses should be engaged in a health program dealing with Pressure ulcers. Under these programs, the nurses will be equipped with skills and knowledge on how to deal with patients with pressure ulcers (Irene M.JankowskiR.N, 2011). They will also learn how to detect pressure ulcers at early stages. Another solution to this problem is the availability of equipment for measuring pressure on the vulnerable areas. This will help in the detection of pressure ulcers before they become severe (Jill Cox, 2011). Finally, a health program for patients raising the awareness of Pressure ulcers is very important. This is because they will have the basic information on how to prevent, detect and deal with pressure ulcers (Levine, 2012) In conclusion, Pressure ulcers have been on the rise and they have to be dealt with. Having identified who it affects, how it is treated and managed, it is up to the nurse, patients, and the public to apply actions which will lead to a reduction of Pressure ulcers cases. In doing this, we will overcome this problem of Pressure Ulcers. References Chauhan, K. A. (2012). Pressure ulcers: Back to the basics. Indian Journal of plastic surgery . Irene M.JankowskiR.N, D. M.

Running Head: PICOT STATEMENT PAPER 1 PICOT STATEMENT PAPER 5 Pressure Ulcers Prevention in Nursing Facilities Student’s name: Vladimir Andino Institution Affiliation: GCU Date: 2/3/19 Picot Statement paper on Pressure ulcers prevention in nursing facilities Pressure ulcers or bedsores are injuries that occur on the skin surface when it is exposed to too much pressure. These injuries can occur to any individual, but the most affected population is sick people who are confined in bed, or people who sit in a wheelchair or chair for long periods. The major risk factors that predispose individuals to this ailment include immobility, health problems which limit blood flow, poor nutrition, and loss of sensation due to impairment of sensory perception. This study focuses on developing a PICOT statement that will aid in
  • 20. limiting the incidences of pressure ulcers in nursing facilities. Picot statement P (Problem) Pressure Ulcers in nursing facilities I (Intervention) Proper nutrition C (Comparison) Patient population not currently receiving the intervention O (Outcome) Less pressure ulcers in nursing facilities T (Timeframe) Period before and after intervention Problem (Pressure ulcers in nursing facilities) Patients in nursing facilities are at a higher risk of contracting pressure ulcers because their poor health may cause them to lack the energy to adjust their bed elevations regularly. This population also experience mobility problems, and they may also fail to detect the injuries in good time due to lack of sensory perceptions (Stechmiller, 2010). Too much pain because of other ailments may also cause them to underestimate the effects of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers is thus a significant healthcare problem in nursing facilities that need to be checked.
  • 21. Intervention (Proper nutrition) Though pressure ulcers are popularly known to be caused by immobility problems, poor nutrition also plays a substantial role in influencing the disease. Failing to include sufficient vitamins, minerals, calories, proteins, and fluids in the patients’ diet in order to maintain healthy skin predisposes the patients to more risk of contracting pressure ulcers (Shahin et al., 2010). This study will thus involve provision of patients in nursing facility A with all the necessary food materials for maintaining a healthy skin. A change in diet will thus have to occur, and nurses in the nursing facility will oversee the implementation of the intervention. Nurses in the care facility will however, be enlightened on the specific nutritional foods that should be given to the patients. Other factors that predispose patients to pressure ulcers will remain unaltered. Comparison (Patient population not currently receiving the intervention) The results of the intervention will be compared to a nursing facility B that will not have adopted the intervention. Nursing facility B will also be monitored throughout the experiment
  • 22. though no intervention will be executed. Outcome (Less patient ulcers in nursing care facilities) The results of the experiment show that the instances of pressure ulcers in the nursing facility reduced significantly since the time the intervention was implemented. The results thus implied that poor nutrition plays a vital role in causing pressure ulcers, and thus implementing proper nutrition can help significantly in reducing the effects. When the results were compared with those of nursing facility B, which had not received the intervention, the facility was found to have increased the instances of pressure ulcers. Timeframe (Period before and after the intervention) The intervention program in this study took a period of three months, and it involved patients in nursing facilities who had significant immobility challenges. Proper nutrition was given preference because it would help in maintaining a healthy skin, and hence the skin would be more resilient to pressure ulcers (Stechmiller, 2010). Before implementation of the intervention program records about pressure ulcers on the patient population were taken so that they could be compared with the end results of the intervention.
