Part BIntroductionThe target audience of this training session is the student nurses who are learning various aspectsof nursing and are yet to be a part of the health care system.The student nurses around the world are being deployed by the health care organizations andhospitals for their critical role of saving and taking care of the patients. They always have to useclear, effective and accurate skills that are used for saving lives, particularly in the absence ofmedical professionals like doctors and surgeons. They have to be well versed in understandingthe needs of patients, applications of new and alternative medications, working alongside withtheir instructors and following the procedures of the health care facility where they are gettingpractical experience.The topic of the session being chosen here is “Patient safety and wound care”.
