They result in a series of complications affecting patients, families, and healthcare. Many factors can lead to PUs and falls. The absence of proper assessments of their etiologies exacerbates these issues. Mapping the road to effective assessment is crucial for the right interventions to be implemented according to each patient's needs. This study aims to provide an overall estimate of nurse compliance with PU and fall risk assessments on hospital admission and indicate the degree of variation in compliance rates across different hospital units.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the STROBE guidelines a retrospective descriptive design was utilised and included all patients for 2022.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The results showed the general compliance with\n                      <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">PU<\/jats:styled-content>\n                      and fall risk assessments and indicated that intensive care units (medical\/surgical and burn units) had the highest rate of compliance, which exceeded 97% with the\n                      <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">PU<\/jats:styled-content>\n                      assessment.

This research highlights units' characteristics and their compliance with the assessments. Hospital\u2010based assessment is crucial for identifying gaps in assessment and implementing proper interventions. Proper interventions not only improve patient outcomes but also enhance the overall quality of care within the healthcare system. By regularly evaluating these assessments, hospitals can better allocate resources and streamline processes to address patient needs more effectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nop2.70376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,5]],"date-time":"2025-12-05T03:49:48Z","timestamp":1764906588000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Evaluation of Nurses' Compliance With Pressure Ulcer and Fall Risk Assessments"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5222-213X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roai","family":"Gassas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences King Abdulaziz University  Rabigh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6636-0223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kholoud","family":"Alharbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Administration and Education Department, College of Nursing King Saud University  Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abrar","family":"Fallatah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology and Social Work, Faculty of Arts and Humanities King Abdulaziz University  Jeddah Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayman Ateq","family":"Alamri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Education and Administration, College of Nursing University of Tabuk  Tabuk Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-29513-4_64"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","unstructured":"Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. n.d.\u201cWhat Are the Best Practices in Pressure Ulcer Prevention That We Want to Use?\u201dhttps:\/\/www.ahrq.gov\/patient\u2010safety\/settings\/hospital\/resource\/pressureulcer\/tool\/pu3.html."},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/jhl.s288682"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.9790\/1959\u20100604020914"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/JMDH.S379782"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen\u20102017\u2010019063"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006199-198707000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","article-title":"The Incidence of Pressure Ulcers and Its Associations in Different Wards of the Hospital: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis","volume":"11","author":"Borojeny L.
