Abstract

INTRODUCTION This paper will discuss the assessment of skin of the elderly incontinent patient. It will concentrate on two areas, decubitus ulcers and incontinence dermatitis; the latter because it is a direct result of incontinence, and very common, and the former because it is associated with incontinence and old age, and is a serious condition that may be life-threatening; and is a costly condition to treat.
