Wound care provides nursing support for people with wounds that require ongoing clinical attention, such as wounds following surgery, injuries, or wounds that are slow to heal.
It may be needed when a patient requires professional wound observation and care rather than managing dressing needs independently. For patients receiving care in Baltimore, Maryland, wound care can address these clinical needs in a residential setting when appropriate.
How It Works
Wound care may involve nursing services such as:
- Observation of the wound and surrounding skin
- Wound cleansing as clinically indicated
- Dressing changes
- Monitoring for changes in wound condition
- Skin care related to the affected area
- Documentation of relevant wound observations
What to Expect
Wound care is typically provided according to the patient’s wound needs and applicable healthcare instructions. During care, the nurse addresses the wound as indicated and observes factors such as the wound area, surrounding skin, and changes since previous care. Ongoing services may be adjusted as the wound changes or additional healthcare guidance is provided.
