      <dc:description>Applications where data mining tools are used in the fields of medicine and nursing are&#xd;
becoming more and more frequent. Among them, decision trees have been applied to different health&#xd;
data, such as those associated with pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers represent a health problem with a&#xd;
significant impact on the morbidity and mortality of immobilized patients and on the quality of life&#xd;
of affected people and their families. Nurses provide comprehensive care to immobilized patients.&#xd;
This fact results in an increased workload that can be a risk factor for the development of serious&#xd;
health problems. Healthcare work with evidence-based practice with an objective criterion for a&#xd;
nursing professional is an essential addition for the application of preventive measures. In this work,&#xd;
two ways for conducting a pressure ulcer risk assessment based on a decision tree approach are&#xd;
provided. The first way is based on the activity and mobility characteristics of the Braden scale,&#xd;
whilst the second way is based on the activity, mobility and skin moisture characteristics. The results&#xd;
provided in this study endow nursing professionals with a foundation in relation to the use of their&#xd;
experience and objective criteria for quick decision making regarding the risk of a patient to develop&#xd;
a pressure ulcer.</dc:description>
