title: A holistic approach to pressure sore management.
abstract: Caring for a pressure sore requires a holistic approach. Incontinence complicates the management of wounds. Encouraging patient participation in pressure sore management promotes ownership of the sore. Consistency in documentation allows a consistent and objective evaluation of healing. Recognition of any deficits in knowledge, and education to meet these, enhances patient safety.
