What Interventions Can Be Implemented Based on the Braden Scale?
Depending on the Braden Scale score, nurses can implement various interventions, such as: - Repositioning: Regularly turning and repositioning patients to alleviate pressure on vulnerable areas. - Skin Care: Keeping the skin clean and dry, using moisture barriers, and inspecting the skin for early signs of breakdown. - Nutrition Support: Ensuring adequate nutrition and hydration to promote skin integrity and overall health. - Use of Support Surfaces: Employing specialized mattresses, cushions, and pads to redistribute pressure. - Education: Informing patients and caregivers about the importance of mobility and skin care.
