Some of the factors to consider when encountering an individual who is paraplegic says Los Angeles Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven Peck:

Where his skin breakdown problems are–and are they healed or open right now
How is his nutrition?
Does he have a problem with moisture (incontinence or sweating)
Does he use a hospital bed, regular bed or adjustable bed, and what size
Does he turn and is he able to do this himself
What positions does he use for sleep
How does he transfer
What ADLs does he do in bed
