Do clients using pressure care mattresses still require repositioning

Do clients using pressure care mattresses still require repositioning?

A: Yes! Pressure relieving surfaces do not  replace the need for physical repositioning. The frequency of the repositioning required is determined by the type of pressure relieving surface in use, the client’s current skin condition, the existence of current or previous pressure injuries and the individual’s natural movement pattern when asleep.
