RE: [MARKETING] pressure ulcers
I do not further query if the wound care nurse states it is unstageable, they are the expert. If the wound gets debrided, and the eschar is removed, then the wound should be able to be staged. If the wound is then not staged, I would query. If the ulcer turns out to be a stage III or IV this would not be considered hospital acquired as the documentation is already present that the pressure ulcer was present on admission.
