Study Notes
Wound Assessment
- A key parameter to consider when performing a wound assessment is the extent of tissue involvement.
- When assessing a wound, the wound size should be noted in terms of length, width, and depth.
- The type of wound should be identified, considering factors such as wound edges, granulation tissue, and tissue loss.
Wound Healing
- Medication can impact wound healing by affecting the healing process.
- The primary focus during the Planning stage of patient care is to identify the type of wound and develop a plan for wound management.
- During the Implementation stage, topical care is emphasized, including dressing selection and wound cleaning.
- During the Evaluation stage, skin integrity and wound healing should be assessed.
- During the maturation phase of wound healing, the tensile strength of the healed tissue increases.
- In primary intention wound healing, the wound edges are well-approximated, and the wound is closed.
- In secondary intention wound healing, granulation tissue fills in the area of tissue loss.
- In tertiary intention wound healing, the wound is left open and then closed at a later time.
- The healing process typically lasts several weeks in wounds that are closed but will continue to heal.
Wound Healing Phases
- The primary purpose of the hemostasis phase is to stop bleeding.
- During the inflammatory phase, neutrophils and macrophages clean the wound and defend it against bacteria.
- During the proliferative phase, fibroblasts produce collagen to strengthen the wound.
- Angiogenesis occurs during the proliferative phase, allowing for new blood vessel formation.
- During the remodeling phase, cellular events take place to achieve resurfacing, reconstitution, and restoration of tensile strength in injured tissue.
Wound Care Management
- The primary purpose of wound packing is to remove dead tissue and debris.
- In wound care, gauze is typically used for filling narrow areas.
- During an episode of acute bleeding, the priority is to apply a pressure bandage to stop the bleeding.
- An abdominal binder is used in post-operative care to provide support and stability.
- Insufficient knowledge regarding pressure injury prevention is a key nursing diagnosis.
- A key principle of patient-centered wound care is to emphasize education and involvement in wound management.
Wound Types and Prevention
- An acute wound progresses through the normal stages of wound healing and shows clear signs of healing within four weeks.
- A chronic wound doesn't progress normally through the four stages of healing and often gets stalled at one of the phases.
- Pressure ulcer prevention strategies often focus on reducing pressure and ensuring proper wound care.
- The mnemonic ADSD stands for evidence-based practice or pressure injury prevention.
- A deep tissue injury is not gradable due to variation in skin integrity.
- An unstageable pressure injury is a full-thickness skin and/or tissue loss where the loss cannot be determined due to obscure slough and eschar.
