2.1 Safety Information
Education, clinical judgement and action-based planning
based on vulnerability are fundamental factors in prevention
of pressure injuries.
A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method
of assessing risk from pressure injury development, and
should be used in conjunction with an informal assessment
(informed nursing judgement). Informal assessment is
considered to be of greater importance and clinical value.
