Study Notes
Wound Care and Healing Summary
- Pressure ulcers can lead to colonization and infection of the wound and are staged from shallow skin craters to life-threatening tissue ulceration.
- Treatment may involve antibiotics, special beds, debridement, and relieving pressure to protect the wound from further trauma or contamination.
- Wound dehiscence and evisceration are nursing actions for wound separation and protrusion of abdominal organs, respectively.
- Understanding wound care dressings, sharp debridement, and prevention methods such as repositioning and maximizing nutrition is crucial.
- Factors affecting wound healing include decreased mobility, pressure, altered consciousness, and poor nutrition.
- Different types of drainage are identified by colors such as sanguinous, serosanguinous, purulent, and serous.
- Various types of wounds, including incision, laceration, abrasion, avulsion, ulceration, puncture, and contusion, require different treatment approaches.
- Abdominal binders are used after common abdominal surgery to protect incisions and sutures and reduce pain.
- Hydrotherapy creates a moist environment to accelerate healing and aid in debridement.
- Special considerations for wound healing in older adults include diminished collagen and blood supply, decreased elastin quality, and long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays.
- Definitions of first-intention, second-intention, and third-intention healing provide insight into wound closure methods and healing processes.
- Bed cradles are used to keep skin dry and prevent complications in clients lying in bed for extended periods, such as those with pressure injuries.
