The Role of Nutrition for Pressure Injury Prevention and Healing: The 2019
International Clinical Practice Guideline Recommendations.
Munoz N, Posthauer ME, Cereda E, Schols JMGA, Haesler E.
GENERAL PURPOSE: To review the nutrition-related recommendations presented in the
2019 European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, National Pressure Injury Advisory
Panel, and Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance Prevention and Treatment of
Pressure Ulcers/Injuries: Clinical Practice Guideline with further discussion of
nutrition for pressure injury management in the context of the recommendations.
TARGET AUDIENCE: This continuing education activity is intended for physicians,
physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses with an interest in skin
and wound care.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OUTCOMES: After participating in this educational activity,
the participant should be better able to:1. Distinguish nutrition and
malnutrition, especially as they relate to the development and healing of
pressure injuries.2. Differentiate the tools and techniques that help clinicians
assess nutrition status as well as the causes of pressure injuries in specific
populations.3. Identify interventions for improving nutrition status and
promoting pressure injury healing.
ABSTRACT: Macro- and micronutrients are required by each organ system in specific
amounts to promote the growth, development, maintenance, and repair of body
tissues. Specifically, nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and
treatment of pressure injuries. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the
nutrition-related recommendations presented in the 2019 European Pressure Ulcer
Advisory Panel, National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel, and Pan Pacific Pressure
Injury Alliance Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries: Clinical
Practice Guideline. Nutrition for pressure injury management is discussed in the
context of the recommendations.
