Wound Care (Quick Study: Health) Pamphlet – June 20, 2002

Love this cheat sheet. I use it to show clients explanations as well as examples of what I see or am hoping to see happen in their wounds with home health. Also is a great resource for those days my brain is done and I’m questioning myself. Carry it in my home health bag at all times.

This is directed towards patients and caregivers who are changing dressings as directed by a provider. It is a terrific reference for them. Back when my mother came home from rehab with a half-healed stage 4 pressure ulcer, I would have loved to have had this. Now, as a student in nursing school, it is a bit basic. It gives a very good introduction for someone who knows nothing about wound care but it does not give enough information to be useful to someone who is already a nurse.

For someone just starting wound care this is the bare bones skinny on the topic. It comes as a sturdy trifold with plastic laminated cover to keep it clean.

Love this for quick reference when at work

Great product to carry around with you. It has basic information on how to stage wounds, how to measure wounds. What products to use on certain types of wounds, etc. A great addition to your locker reference stack.

Product great. poor packing. Someone should have inspected before these were sent out. They were all stuck together with syrup or something and I had to wash them to pull them apart ☹

Lots about wounds but not a lot about treatment.

Keep in mind this is a study sheet, it does not give instruction on how to respond to a large wound or a trauma situation. But it is handy to have around as it can help keep a first responder up to date.
