Care To
promote skin care and maintain good hygiene, we'll teach those patients
who have lost skin sensation or have skin care misconceptions ,
those who are bed ridden or wheelchair bound . to inspect their
skin daily. We teach them how to maintain their skin in good hydration
status, how to perform pressure relief in wheelchair and how to
cleanse their injured limbs. In our centre, we use Norton score
