It defines a pressure ulcer as damaged skin and underlying tissue that typically occurs over a bony prominence as a result of pressure or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. Pressure ulcers are described as occurring mostly over bony areas and taking time to develop. The grades include: 1) Grade 1 - Non-blanchable erythema of intact skin; 2) Grade 2 - Partial thickness skin loss involving damage to dermis; 3) Grade 3 - Full thickness skin loss involving damage to subcutaneous tissue.
