Decubitus ulcer, it sounds like a fancy terms for the things that are alike - a wounded created because of extreme pressure on the skin, which also cause the skin to collapse.  The occurrence of these wounds is regularly in care settings that are long term. Now, by stating they occur frequently, it is not implied that pressure ulcers are not avertable, or treatable. The true fact, that wounds are suffered by thousands of  long term care residents. If what cause them are excessive pressures, preventing excessive pressure can help avoid this condition.  Turning schedules, good nutrition, getting residents up, out of bed, out of their chairs - these are ways to prevent pressure ulcers.
