S UGGESTED A CTIVITIES Drawing Conclusions: Pressure Injury Contributing Factors Directions
Ask students to design flowcharts outlining the contributing factors that lead to pressure injuries and how they relate to each other. The flowchart should include each of the following situations: • Immobility and inactivity • Loss of sensation • Intrinsic factors (poor nutrition, advanced age, impaired circulation, underlying health status) • Extrinsic factors (increased friction, shearing, moisture) • Extended time and pressure Tips Because of the importance of recognizing contributing factors, students can learn to prevent injuries from forming. This activity can be used to create a quick reference guide for students. Sample Flowchart
Imbobility, Inactivity, and Loss of Sensation
Intrinsic Factors and Extrinsic Factors
Pressure Injury Formation
Extended Time and Pressure
Goals The purpose of this activity is to help students understand the progression of the development of pressure injuries and contributing factors.
