2.1 General Safety Information
Education, clinical judgement and action-based planning based
on vulnerability are fundamental factors in prevention of
pressure injuries.
A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method

be used in conjunction with an informal assessment (informed
nursing judgement). Informal assessment is considered to be of
greater importance and clinical value.
