Preventing Pressure Injuries in Patients with Dark Skin – August CARE Connections

How does racism impact nursing education and care? Read about a Doctor of Nursing Practice student’s scholarly project in the August 2023 issue of CARE Connections, the monthly newsletter of the SoN’s Center for Aging Research and Education. Here’s an excerpt:

“I found that there aren’t a lot of resources, even in the medical field, that show patients with dark skin tones. … There just wasn’t good data or resources to support practice.”

This month’s CARE Connections also includes a geriatrics simulations toolkit for nursing students; a profile of CARE Affiliate Sue Wenker, PT, PhD, MS; and other news related to older adult health and well-being.
