Stage 4 Bed sores In Nursing Homes

Stage 4 Bed Bed sores, also commonly known as pressure ulcers, happen when someone sleeps or sits in the same position for an extended period. Bedsores are classified in stages between Stage 1 and Stage 4, based on severity. Stage 1 is the earliest and least severe and can occur in a matter of hours. Stage 4 is therefore the most severe. Stage 4 bedsores occur after long hours remaining in the same position and the patient's skin incurs extensive damage. These bedsores tend to be deep and extensive and can expose vital tissues, ligaments, muscle, or bone and often become infected. Due to their severity, stage 4 bedsores require immediate medical attention; in some cases, surgery might be necessary. When left unattended, stage 4 sores can worsen or even cause death. Stage 4 bedsores are characterized by extreme tissue damage. Patients or loved ones of a resident who notice these symptoms should notify a doctor immediately. Nursing homes and their employees have a legal duty to provide adequate care that serves the resident's best interest. Stage 4 bedsores are an extreme injury and can be the byproduct of abuse or neglect by a nursing home caregiver. If nursing home providers fail to provide that level of care, they may be legally negligent for any injuries that occur.
