Great video! Dr. Laster's comment about patients having decreased sensation rings very true in my experience. Working with elderly patients for a very long time, I see more of this than I would like. Cognitive issues (Alzheimer's) can also lead to difficulty with ability to move. Those who have swallowing difficulties pose a difficult situation when trying to keep them hydrated, and make them highly susceptible to pressure ulcers. Great job on this blog. Very informative.
