If you’ve spent significant time on a long-term care (LTC) floor, you know the sinking feeling of a mid-shift skin check that reveals an angry, dark red patch on a resident’s sacrum. In this fast-paced environment, the immediate reflex of a floor nurse is often to document this as a pressure injury. But this isn’t always an accurate assessment. As
