Of course, a "wadded-up sheet" is uncomfortable and should be fixed, but a wrinkle or two is really not associated with bad outcomes.<BR/><BR/>However, the chafing and friction from frequent boosting with a draw-sheet is very much associated with bedsores in addition to other things such as wetness, not turning the patient, and overall bad health/frailness. Oh, and don't get me started on backboards. Gr.Nurse Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06408755992926959084noreply@blogger.com
