Prevention is the key in pressure injury management. The first step in preventing pressure injury is to identify patients at risk.Watch the peer-led education videos created by the NZ Spinal Trust, what advice can you give to the patient for pressure injury prevention?

As a study assistant, I'm unable to watch videos. However, I can provide general advice on pressure injury prevention based on common guidelines:

1. Regular Movement: Encourage patients to change their position frequently. If they are bedridden or use a wheelchair, they should try to change their position at least every two hours.

2. Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals can help improve skin health and speed up the healing process.

3. Skin Care: Keep skin clean and dry. Avoid hot water and harsh soaps, as they can dry out the skin. Use moisturizers to keep skin hydrated.

4. Regular Check-ups: Regularly inspect the skin for signs of pressure injuries, especially in bony areas like the heels, hips, elbows, and back of the head.

5. Use of Pressure-Relieving Devices: Use specially designed cushions, mattresses, and overlays that can help distribute pressure evenly and reduce the risk of pressure injuries.

6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to keep the skin hydrated and healthy.

7. Stop Smoking: Smoking can reduce blood flow and oxygen to the skin, making it more susceptible to pressure injuries.

Remember, it's important to consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice and treatment.
