Update — September 2026:
This article was originally published in the July 2013 issue of Nursing Currents through the Abbott Nutrition Health Institute. 

The article provided information on the role of oral nutrition supplementation in wound healing and pressure-ulcer prevention. It reviewed the relationship between nutritional status, wound healing, and pressure-injury risk and discussed practical considerations for clinicians.

The original online continuing-education activity carried 1.0 RN CE contact hour, however, the CE activity and archive link are no longer available. I have retained a copy of the published issue for historical and professional reference.
