Nevertheless, I was heartened to realize that my WOC nursing education and experience, along with the education tools, best practice documents, the Journal (JWOCN), and algorithms that the WOCN Society has developed over the years prepared me for even the unprecedented challenges posed by COVID-19. With the assistance of our ICU leadership, beds were deployed to the appropriate ICUs. We already had a protocol for patients requiring prolonged placement in a prone position, but this practice was seldom employed in some of our ICUs and I realized that education was urgently needed on how to operate the pulmonary beds and prevent pressure injury or other forms of skin damage in these high-risk patients. ./cache/cord-260874-g3k562od.txt ./txt/cord-260874-g3k562od.txt
