PICOT	For elderly and debilitated patients [P], will the implementation of a pressure preventive bundle [I], compared to routine pressure injury care [C], reduce the incidence of pressure injury [O], within 60 days? [T].
Problem Statement	Pressure ulcers are a considerable risk to elderly and debilitated patients’ safety in long-term care facilities. They threaten patients’ safety and care quality by increasing morbidity, hospitalization, and discomfort (Darvall et al., 2018; Pickham et al., 2018). Nurses apply multiple strategies to prevent pressure ulcers or minimize their impacts. Preventive pressure bundles include measures such as regular patient turns/ repositioning, skin inspection, checking support services, and risk assessment (Lavallée et al., 2019; Mitchell, 2018). It is not known if the implementation of pressure preventive bundle would impact pressure ulcer prevention among elderly and debilitated patients in a long-term-care facility. Implementing the project will help to determine the effectiveness of the preventive pressure bundle in reducing the incidence of pressure ulcers.
Purpose Statement	The purpose of this quality improvement project is to determine if the implementation of a care bundle intervention would impact pressure ulcer prevention among elderly and debilitated patients when compared to current practice in a long-term-care facility in a suburban Maryland city within 60 days.
