Nutritional Therapy In Pressure Injuries. The Importance of Nutritional Care for the Elderly, Handicapped and Bedridden

      Аннотация: In this book, Nutritional Therapy in Pressure Injuries: The Importance of Nutritional Care for the Elderly, Handicapped and Bedridden, the authors show the relationship between malnutrition, the development of lesions (or ulcers) by pressure, and the different risk factors. Multiprofessional teams are fundamental to the quality of care provided to the patient. Nutritionists, nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, pharmacists, among other professionals contribute to the provision of a more complete and embracing care. It is very important that the multiprofessional team is able to identify the risk factors for the development of pressure injuries, since this ability facilitates the prevention and nonprogression of these injuries and provides lower hospital, institutional and/or household expenditures.
