Case Report: Role of Evidence-Based Nursing Care in the Regression of a Grade III Pressure Injury to Grade I
Abstract: Pressure injuries are a significant patient safety concern, particularly among elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and limited mobility. This case study describes the successful management of a Grade III sacral pressure injury in a 75-year-old bedridden male with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, cerebrovascular accident, Parkinsonism, and ileocecal tuberculosis. A comprehensive evidence-based nursing approach, including regular repositioning, advanced wound care, nutritional optimization, glycemic control, skin surveillance, physiotherapy, and caregiver education, was implemented. Over the course of treatment, the wound size reduced from 20 cm? to 6 cm?, and the PUSH score improved from 12 to 6, demonstrating the effectiveness of multidisciplinary, evidence-based nursing interventions in promoting wound healing and improving patient outcomes. Discussion: The case report has enhanced the knowledge and practice in providing evidence based comprehensive nursing care. The knowledge of pressure injury is essential to act promptly in identifying and treating the worsening of pressure injury.
