The majority used pressure redistribution devices; the most common was a pyramidal mattress. Among NOC indicators for tissue integrity, texture showed the most change, followed by tissue temperature. The sacral region showed the greatest change in colour and temperature, and the scapulas showed the greatest change in temperature. Seventy\u2011five percent of subjects had a final score of 5:5, indicating non\u2011compromised skin.<br \/>\nConclusion: Classification parameters were developed based on NOC indicators and their applicability in our patients was verified. Use of the NOC skin integrity outcomes may be an effective method for identifying risk indicators for pressure ulcer development.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Francisca Santos<\/li>\n<li>Allyne Vitor<\/li>\n<li>Iane Teixeira<\/li>\n<li>Renata de Melo<\/li>\n<li>Marcos Lopes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>nursing, outcome assessment, skin, pressure ulcer<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Skin inspection for evaluating the presence of risk indicators to developing pressure ulcers Original&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[3874,4742,4744,4743],"class_list":["post-7534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-nursing","tag-outcome-assessment","tag-pressure-ulcer","tag-skin","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
