- Assessment: Conduct a thorough assessment of the patient's needs, including a skin assessment to identify any areas at risk for pressure ulcers. - Selection: Choose the appropriate support and cushioning devices based on the assessment. - Education: Educate the patient and their family about the importance of using these devices and how to use them correctly. - Monitoring: Regularly monitor the patient's condition to ensure that the support and cushioning devices are effective and make adjustments as necessary.
