Abstract
The purpose of this guideline is to present evidence-based recommendations that apply to the decisions and best practices of interprofessional teams working to assess and manage existing pressure injuries in people 18 years of age and above.
The guideline focuses on the core competencies and the evidence-based strategies that members of interprofessional teams require to assess and treat people with existing pressure injuries.
We've designed this guideline to help nurses and their interprofessional teams become more comfortable, confident and competent when caring for people with existing pressure injuries. It is intended for use in all domains of health care and public health, including clinical work, administration, and education.
