Question on bed sores. Should I be concerned?

Keeping a bed sore clean is not everything. It needs to be watched by someone who knows what to look for. Tissue starts to die and with this infection and with infection sepsis that can kill. You never want it to get to the infection state. That dead tissue has to be scrapped away.

For darned sure! Bed sores are a sign of neglect. No patient should lie on one side for more than 2 hours. I keep a turn record for each of my patients and make sure that staff is completing the record during every shift. There's as lot that goes into caring for the paralyzed and demented, but it can be done. You just have to have the resolve to do it.

Absolutely! Pressure sores can turn into nasty wounds that get infected. Then it will be really difficult to manage them. Get help as soon as possible.

Bedsores comes from pressure points if the body. It's a break down of tissues on that part of the body where blood flow slowly.
Examples like a water hose you fold it and the flow of water decreases . Also if you continue to bend the same area over over it breaks open ..

Yes you should be concerned, if get infection will get inside body causes septic . Also the liquid from in get to other parts of skin can break down skin like rash .

Happy to hear Nursing is attending this. Possible if permitted a motion mattress .

Remember this happens because people/seniors can't move from that position. Nursing possible place pillows or soft item in the areas yet seniors need to move. Take care Brown Sugar

I do not know why this popped up again or if Slothlover2019 is still around but...
I am wondering how and why this got to a Stage 2 pressure sore and Slothlover is just being informed.
A Pressure sore can be a sign of neglect. Particularly one on the torso/butt.
Pressure sores are NOT inevitable.
A person should be moved/repositioned every 2 hours at the minimum.
