1. Wound Assessment
This segment will cover critical components of wound assessment that are used as a foundation for documentation and a comparison of status between treatments or sessions to indicate change. Assessment is profoundly important to determine if wound healing is occurring, to identify problems or delays in wound healing, and to document progression toward closure.
2. Wound Healing Principles
Foundational principles of wound healing will be covered and discussed in depth to provide the why behind what we do as practitioners to treat wounds and promote healing toward closure. Wound cleansing and wound bed preparation outline specific terms and times for necessary treatment so the practitioner is more comfortable and confident guiding wound care.
3. Identifying Infection
The practitioner providing wound care must be able to identify when a wound is not healing properly and if infection is a likely source of problematic healing. This is critical information to describe to a referring provider if higher-level treatment or prescription medication is needed. If infection is not identified or treated, wound healing is stalled and closure cannot occur.
