Nursing Skill Check: Wound Care Dressing Change

[@carlloveless4717]

My mom's a nurse and has always taught me the proper way to care for a wound. Thank you mom and all other nurses

[@michellepacis1493]

CWOCN here - this is nice, but it's overkill. Routine wound care is not sterile. It's a clean procedure. And I agree with other comments - the packing done in this demonstration is not well done. It's both not enough packing (does not fill entire wound and account for tunneling) and yet also too many individual pieces of gauze all at the same time. Otherwise, I think this is a great teaching tool. Very clear and easy to follow. Would love to see this updated.

[@roghider3552]

Couldnt agree more, though I do understand this is the 'by the book' procedure they teach in their lecture classes

[@jackalope_hunter]

@@roghider3552 I never knew wounds get packed? Like as in putting gauze beneath the skin inside the tissue or muscle and such? I thought if there was a gash it would just get stitched up

[@roghider3552]

@@jackalope_hunter there are wounds that are so deep that just stitching them would not help them heal, examples of which are pressure ulcers which is I presume what the video is trying to emulate with the dummy

[@smallandstressed2364]

Question: how is a wound supposed to heal with packing? If there’s gauze in the wound, how is it supposed to close?

[@roghider3552]

@@smallandstressed2364 its to prevent excess accummulation of exudate and the packing serves to absorb excess drainage or blood from pooling and hindering healthy tissue from emerging on the wound bed. Usually with really deep wounds a vaccuum system dressing gets used, like a VAC pump dressing

This was a nice demonstration, though I cannot help but think that there was cross-contamination at some points n the video.

[@anapaulabulhoes9312]

Great for skill test, but for real life, complete wrong… you need to pack tunnelling and undermining, applying a appropriate dressing with anti microbial properly… protect the peri-wound, apply an dressing the control exudate…

[@MissCBwasadancer3]

@leisel I’ve been bedridden 5 years and only ever had the start of a pressure sore after nurses forced me to be turned every 2-3 hours in hospital, including throughout the night. I was in so much pain 😣. I haven’t been able to to turn for 4 years due to 2 tubes in my stomach (stomas tear easy) + unstable neck/spine but not once had a friction or pressure sore at home. I’m either very lucky or every body is different! Does this only happen to overweight people, I’m very boney 😓, but maybe that’s my advantage here?

[@MissCBwasadancer3]

@leisel oh really 😳 I’m so shocked I’ve never experienced, but probably jinxed myself now.😩

[@genie121]

This is great but presents challenges when you have a bariatric patient or a patient who is unable to roll on their side.

[@MrPinnapples]

The focus here is on being able to change the dressing for students. Movement and mobility are separate skills that are learned and are put together in real life scenarios

[@meliamoss6040]

[@eric6345]

Question: Video states to label the dressing with Date, Time, and Initials except this nurse writes that information on her glove. I'd think that if she wrote that information directly onto the sterile bandage it runs risk of pen ink fading away if dressing becomes saturated with drainage. And writing the info on her latex glove seems odd because she'd just discard her gloves after cleaning up the procedure area and before leaving patient room. Am I missing something? 🤔

[@em68855]

I am not sure why this is a sterile dressing change? I mean if you are practicing sterile dressing changes fine, but this would never be a sterile dressing change in the real world.

[@aikogiron3449]

In reality. You cant do this (alone)and putting the patient on prone position.(but hey,It's just a demonstration)

[@leeluv96]

I could use some help. I'm caring for my Mom at home. Her pressure ulcer looks like a big spider bite right now. At first I used alcohol and neosporin. But it formed a white head. When the head bursted I started using alcohol and silvadene. Yesterday it looked like the skin was closing up but today it looks irritated like mild carpet burn. It still hurts when she adjusts but it's not like it was before. I can touch it with out her hurting. Her laying down or sitting noloher hurts. There's no hole or crater but when I read up on bedsores, the article said that you can't tell how bad the infection is from looking on the surface because the wound starts from the bone out to the top layer of the skin. So now I'm freaking out because I dont know if I am handling things right. I wash the bump and area around the bump separately from the other areas when I change her. I wouldn't say this other wise but luckily she is constipated soon can do controlled bowel movements. This way I never have to worry about a lot of fecal matter getting in areas. Of course that's never 100% but I'll take that along with dressing the bump to keep liquids and solids out. I change my gloves, and washing water etc... just for that area. I try to keep the environment as sterile as possible. Then I talked to her about just lifting her up through out the day. Like if I have to go to the bath room (for example) I'll stand her up for an length of time too so it's like she's standing more often. She can't walk or stand on her own so I have to hold her for a few min. I'm looking into designing my own mattress topper with a cutout in it. So far I've jimmy rigged something for her to sleep on but I need something more permanent. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted online. Any tips would be appreciated.

I understand it to a certain extent. Getting an Associate's degree shows a level of competency that's higher than just a standard diploma. Maybe it could be reduced to a year-long course instead of an Associate's or something like that though.

[@megg2826]

You can but you still have to do prerequisites first. The reason why is becaue you do a ton of research in nursing classes and do write papers. You can't just go into these classes without knowing how to properly cite, type and explain research findings.
