This educational event will further the student’s knowledge as it pertains to preventative skin care. Together the faculty and students will explore topics such as: how to identify persons at risk for skin breakdown, interventions to prevent skin breakdown in at-risk populations, and what to do should they encounter skin breakdown. Students will gain insight into what to assess, when to inform, and how to carry out basic care for common skin conditions including pressure injuries, circulatory issues, trauma, moisture-related skin damage, thermal injuries, and skin and nail fungus. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate of attendance.
