The pressure is on: New clinical information

As many of you know, my clinical expertise is wound, ostomy, and continence nursing, and as this semester begins, I felt it was imperative to update all of you on the new pressure ulcer definitions and criteria released by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisor Panel (NPUAP) in April of this year. In a previous editorial (Siegel, 2016), I opined about the difficulty remaining current and maintaining awareness of best practices when everything changes so quickly. Because we are published quarterly, I wanted to ensure that this information came to all of you in the fall semester when many nursing faculty are actively engaged in fundamentals or foundational nursing courses where this topic is typically discussed.
