After treatment patients do not expect any more problems with their health. Prevention of Ulcers due to stress especially in hospitals has been something of concern in the health sector. Especially in the Intensive Care Unit, patients tent develop ulcers due to the pressure of the nature of their sickness. The prevention of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers is taking a new shape especially by the way skin cleanliness and ensuring that patients get service which is in a clean environment. Movement of patients is a very effective way of ensuring that hospital acquiring pressure ulcers prevention. Medical practitioners are doing everything it takes to ensure that patients do not get any further complications such as ulcers. Medical examinations have shown that Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcers side effects affect most of the body parts including the knee, ankles among other parts (ScholarlyEditions, 2011).

I have observed that many patients do get after treatment complications. In my field of specialization, I have observed that health practitioners have the responsibility of ensuring that patients are prevented from after treatment complications (Powers, 2014). Patient’s wellbeing lies in the responsibility of the medical practitioners.

In the case of the situation in which patients were discovered to be suffering from after treatment services in the hospitals especially in the Intensive Care Unit patients, the situation was investigated and solutions found. The situation was controlled by the administration of medication to control the situation. Physical exercise was (DeWit & O’Neill, 2013).

This situation of controlling Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcers can be controlled differently. This situation can be controlled use of less effective medication. The environment in the ICU can be changed to a friendly place to avoid the pressure and stress they get from the treatment (Powers, 2014). Physical exercises for the patients can also be helpful in assisting the patients in hospitals. Medics can also formulate ways to psychotically assist these patients by given them psychological help to ensure that they are psychological fit to avoid stress pile up in the mind.
