Be Active in Your Care

The best program for preventing pressure ulcers will consider what you want and be based on your condition.

Be sure you:

  1. Ask questions.
  2. Explain your needs, wants, and concerns.
  3. Understand what and why things are being done.
  4. Know what is best for you. Talk about what you can do to help prevent pressure ulcers -- at home, in the hospital, or in the nursing home.

You can help to prevent most pressure ulcers. The extra effort can mean better health.
