    health and intactness of skin as a protective barrier

    Skin integrity refers to the health and intactness of the skin, which acts as a barrier protecting the body from infections, injuries, and dehydration. Maintaining good skin integrity involves ensuring the skin is free from wounds, ulcers, or other damage, and is crucial for overall health, especially in individuals with conditions like diabetes or those who are bedridden.
