User: describe why it is important to check the care plan pior to undertaking pressure area care and the importance of following the agreed care plan

Weegy: It is essential to follow an agreed caer plan with a patient. [ [ A care plan is an agreement between a health care professional and a patient, it allows professionals to discuss care issues with patients to come up with a treatment which the patient is happy with. It is important to keep to a care plan as this is based upon a patients wishes, their reasons may be made up by their beliefs, their culture or religion which can be important factors to consider. Not following a care plan could go against a patients wishes and cause further complications or ailments. However should the plan not be working a review may be essential in the interests of the patient. ] ]
