Are You Suffering From Bedsores?

Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyers

Bedsores, when they occur, are almost always the result of substandard care. Under Nevada law, healthcare facilities in Southern Nevada must provide all patients, regardless of their type of insurance coverage, with care that meets a standard of care that a reasonable person would expect to get. They must take all reasonable steps to avoid exposing patients to unnecessary harms, one of the most common of which is decubitus ulcers, commonly known as bedsores.

HOW TO PREVENT BEDSORES

Preventing bedsores isn’t tough – it simply requires a facility and its staff to take simple precautions. Because the proper prevention of bedsores require adequate staffing from trained persons who care, many facilities that are trying to maximize profits by understaffing or hiring "as needed" occasional labor personnel will oft times have bedsore situations at their facilities.

Some of the standard practices to prevent bedsores include:

  • Keeping the patient’s body clean
  • Regularly changing the bedsheets
  • Any area of the body touching the bed must be examined often
  • Patient must be moved regularly
  • Special mattresses and bedding may be required
  • Ointments should be used to prevent dry skin
