Pressure relieving vs. reduction

[Maureen Stettner]

Regarding mattresses amd M5b.  Do we know that surveyors won't accept a pressure "reduction" mattress as a pressure "relieving" one?  Either way you can never have no pressure unless you are not lying on that area.   Five years ago we purchased pressure "relieving" mattresses.  Since that time we have checked M5b on every resident and have never been called on it.   Is M5b considered a ruggable item with the new guidelines on a "turning program"?
