In today’s context, the nursing scientific community considers the nursing process to be the care method to be used by professional nurses, which integrates all care given by professionals. It is also a dynamic and systematic way of providing nursing care to promote humanistic care and focusing on effective results ultimately leading to patient well-being. Although pressure ulcers (PU) are a topic that has been studied extensively over time, many processes are still not entirely clear. Even today, it can be observed that nurses, who are directly responsible for these patients’ care, still have difficulty in handling such cases. This may be due to ignorance of the etiology, classification, and treatment options, as well as not having a systematic method of handling this disease. In this article, we review the issue and recommend the use of the nursing process to individualize care for patients with PU based on their needs with the objectives of offering patients and their families a better quality of life and, indirectly, improving nursing care.
