\nWeek 8 Discussion: Nursing Homes in Your Community and
\nNeighboring Communities
\nNursing homes have become a viable option for geriatric patients
\nwho require routine care and need help performing basic
\nactivities of daily living, with about 3.3 million patients residing in
\nnursing homes in the United States (Centers for Medicare &
\nMedicaid Services, 2013). While nursing homes provide care and
\nservices to patients, problems can arise resulting in reduced
\nquality of care and, in some cases, illness and morbidity. The
\nsevere implications of pressure ulcers make them a major
\nconcern for elders residing in nursing homes. The Centers for
\nMedicare & Medicaid Services (2013) estimate that 7.5% of nursing
\nhome residents have pressure ulcers and about 82,000 patients
\ndevelop them each year. In your role as the advanced practice
\nnurse, you must understand factors that contribute to the
\nincidence of pressure ulcers in order to improve patient
\noutcomes.
\nFor this Week 8 Discussion: Nursing Homes in Your Community
\nand Neighboring Communities, you examine the prevalence of
\npressure ulcers in nursing homes and develop strategies for
\nincreasing awareness and reducing incidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
