Maureen’s Sacrum area Assessment
A red spot on the sacrum area was observed last Saturday during Maureen first change. It was confirmed to be pressure spot when it was more visible by her second diaper change. Sacrum area, besides been treated with the usual cavilon barrier and cream was also let opened during rest breaks since Thursday as suggested by the nurse during the social worker visit last Wednesday. Pressure spot seems to be healing well, a reduction in size is noticeably today.
