Topic: Identifying Pressure Injuries: Differentiation and Staging
(Free Webinar) Sponsored by: Net Health
Speaker: Joan Junkin RN, MSN, Wound Consultant
Contact Hour(s): 1.0
Target Audience: Nurses, physical therapists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals interested in wound care.
Description:
Correctly identifying the etiology of skin injuries, especially in the sacral and buttock areas, is a challenge to say the least. In an already busy day with multiple priorities, it helps to have confidence about what type of skin injury we’re seeing, so that we can apply the best possible interventions for that particular problem. Skin injuries from pressure and shear and those from incontinence and other moisture sources both impact skin health- so let’s get good at sorting them out using case studies and clear photos and discussing the most likely etiology of each of the injuries viewed. Raising the bar on early recognition of specific threats to skin integrity can have a positive impact on skin health and therefore on the bottom line in healthcare. It also increases accuracy of quality improvement data such as pressure injury prevalence and incidence.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- Differentiate between likely etiologies of superficial skin injuries in the sacral and buttock areas including intertriginous dermatitis, incontinence associated dermatitis, abrasions, and pressure injuries.
- Define the stages of pressure injuries per current National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel definitions.
- Describe characteristics of tissue visible in each stage of pressure injury.

Topic: Ostomy Care Challenges - Obesity, Hernias, and Common Skin Issues Related to Abdominal Contouring
(Free Webinar)
Speaker: Becky Strilko RN, BSN, CWOCN, APRN-FPA, OMS, WCC
Contact Hour(s): 1.0
Target Audience: Nurses, physical therapists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals interested in wound care.
Description:
The creation of an abdominal stoma is a common procedure performed by surgeons as part of the treatment for both benign and malignant conditions. However, the construction of an intestinal stoma can be associated with multiple complications and should not be considered a trivial undertaking. The medical team caring for these patients should be cognizant of these complications before, during, and after stoma creation. In this review, the author will highlight some of the more commonly seen ostomy problems and discuss management and prevention strategies.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain the challenges of ostomy care and obesity
- Identify the most appropriate pouching techniques for a patient with a peristomal hernia
- Name at least three peristomal skin complications
