Hi there, can anyone help please,
Q- Describe the anatomy and physiology of the skin in relation to skin breakdown and pressure sore development ?
I've written about the different layers of skin but is this enough or is there anything else that I should add ? thanx x

Hi charlieboy,

You just need to add how skin can break down and how pressure sores develop.

See these:
