Presentation on Best Practice Guidelines • Choose one of the RNAO BPGs (pressure injury prevention) • Compare the recommended practices from the BPG to your client’s care plan/interventions. • Are the interventions for your client based on evidence-based practice? • Is the evidence strong or weak? • Find one routine nursing practice that has limited evidence to support its use. • Discuss your findings.
Pressure injuries are a significant concern in healthcare, particularly for patients with limited mobility or prolonged bed rest. The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) has developed evidence-based Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs) to address pressure injury prevention. In this presentation, we will compare the recommended practices from the RNAO BPG on pressure injury prevention to a client’s care plan and evaluate the evidence supporting these interventions.
The RNAO BPG on pressure injury prevention emphasizes a proactive, comprehensive approach to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries in patients. Some of the key recommendations include:
Regular Skin Assessment: Conduct comprehensive skin assessments upon admission and regularly thereafter to identify individuals at risk of pressure injuries.
Repositioning: Implement an individualized repositioning schedule for patients with limited mobility to reduce pressure and promote blood flow.
Use of Support Surfaces: Opt for specialized support surfaces, such as pressure-relieving mattresses or overlays, to redistribute pressure on bony prominences.
Nutrition Assessment: Perform nutrition assessments and provide adequate nutrition to promote tissue repair and prevent skin breakdown.
Education: Provide education to patients, families, and healthcare providers on pressure injury prevention and management.
In comparing the RNAO BPG recommendations to our client’s care plan, we found that most of the recommended practices are already incorporated into the care plan. The care plan includes regular skin assessments, repositioning schedules, and the use of pressure-relieving support surfaces. Additionally, the healthcare team ensures the client receives appropriate nutrition, and education on pressure injury prevention is provided to both the client and their family.
The interventions in our client’s care plan are indeed evidence-based as they align with the RNAO BPG on pressure injury prevention. The BPG is developed using rigorous research, systematic reviews, and expert consensus, making the interventions based on the best available evidence.
The evidence supporting the RNAO BPG on pressure injury prevention is considered strong. The guidelines are founded on a synthesis of high-quality research studies, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses, ensuring the recommendations are reliable and valid.
One routine nursing practice that may have limited evidence to support its use is the application of topical agents, such as creams or ointments, to prevent pressure injuries. While these products are commonly used in clinical practice, there is limited robust evidence to demonstrate their efficacy in preventing pressure injuries compared to other preventive measures like repositioning and support surfaces.
The RNAO BPG on pressure injury prevention provides a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to reduce pressure injuries in healthcare settings. Comparing the BPG recommendations to our client’s care plan highlights the adherence to evidence-based practice in pressure injury prevention. However, healthcare providers should be cautious when using routine nursing practices with limited evidence and prioritize interventions with stronger evidence to optimize patient outcomes. By continually updating practices based on the latest evidence, we can ensure the provision of safe and effective care for our patients.
