Pressure injuries are localized skin and soft tissue injuries that develop due to prolonged pressure exerted over specific areas of the body, typically bony prominences. These injuries demand prompt treatment to prevent potential lethal complications. Evaluation and treatment options must consider the latest guidelines and classifications by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11).With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of pressure injuries has increased, contributing to a growing national economic burden. This activity equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to address pressure injuries effectively, offering insights into improved patient care and reducing the impact of this condition on healthcare systems. Enhancing expertise in pressure ulcer management and ensuring one stays informed on the latest developments in the field improves patient care and outcomes.
