Thank you for this well-reported protocol on an important topic area. There are a few comments related to the abstract in the attached manuscript. I would also suggest being clear about how 'elderly' is being defined for the review.

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Thank you for the opportunity to review your protocol titled The Role of Nutrition in the Nursing Management of Pressure Ulcers in Community Settings: A Systematic Review Protocol. It's an interesting protocol that tries to review the effect of various nutritional strategies in the nursing management of pressure ulcers in community settings. I have a few comments for the authors:

I recommend adding 'adult people' or similar to the title, because as you well know and indicate in the inclusion/exclusion criteria, you are going to limit your search to adults and not to children or adolescents, who may also suffer from them.

The objectives are well defined and feasible.

The databases consulted (Pubmed, CINAHL, Scopus) seem sufficient to achieve the proposed objectives.

Yoy should also consider one of the limitations of your protocol, such as language or the fact that it does not consult other databases (for example, LILACS). This aspect may limit access to relevant literature.
