A pressure area is a sore or ulcer that develops on skin and tissues with underlying bone that occurs as a result of pressure being placed on the area. A common example of a pressure area is bedsores. Cleanliness is the utmost concern with care of pressure areas, as they can be prone to infection. Another concern with a patient who has developed pressure areas is prevention.
It is important to follow an agreed plan of care when caring for a patient. They may be in a position where they are unable to protest to a treatment that has been agreed on when they were in their right frame of mind.
why it is important to follow the agreed care plan relating to pressure care
Surface area concerns a 3-dimensional figure such as a cube or sphere. Area concerns a 2-dimensional figure such as a square or circle.
force= pressure*area
Force (lbs) = Pressure (psi) x Area (in2)Pressure=Force/Area
pressure is force divided by area
pressure x area= force. force is the product of pressure and area
Pressure = (total force on an area) divided by (area of the area). Half the area and keep the force the same you get twice the pressure. half the force and over the same area pressure is halved. P = F/A
pressure = force/area force = pressure x area area = force/pressure
im not sure
Pressure = force/area This means that the larger the force, the larger the pressure. But the smaller the area, the larger the pressure.
