A nurse is creating a prevention strategy for a client at risk for pressure injuries. Which resource would provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date guidance to support the care plan?
Apply prevention techniques from prior nursing experience.
Review the facility's internal policies on wound prevention.
Request an evaluation by a wound care specialist.
Refer to professional guidelines developed by authoritative nursing or medical organizations.
The correct answer points to systematically developed recommendations that are updated with the latest research findings and provide reliable, evidence-based options for preventive care. While facility manuals address institution-specific practices, they might not always reflect the most comprehensive or current standards in healthcare. Clinical experience is valuable but must be supplemented with verified evidence to ensure the highest standard of care. Consulting a specialist is an effective action for complex cases, but it is not the most efficient first step for general prevention planning.
