INTEGRATING PRACTICE 2
Description
During the theoretical courses of NRSG 140, I acquired an important skill whereby I
learned, non-touch technique, a method of changing the dressing of the wound without directly
touching the wound. It is important to ensure that the hands if used, need to be washed and must
not contaminate the patient or sterile equipment. The class taught me the way wound can be
managed and treated for better health outcome
Feelings
Initially, I was confused about how to dress the wound without touching. I did understand
that the non-touch (aseptic) dressing method is of prime importance for avoiding infection.
However, due to my limited understanding, I failed to understand how exactly, I am going to
implement this method successfully. Given the limited practical knowledge, I did face difficulty
in following the things being told; however, I realize the importance after progression through
course. Through the theory class I gained knowledge about the non-touching dressing method
principles. The ANTT method that is as follow; always decontaminate hands, never contaminate
patient’s key site or key components of the equipment, take suitable precaution for avoiding
infection and treat wound redressing as septic.
Evaluation
Whenever the skin is open or cut it leaves the patient vulnerable to infection. It is for the
same reason it is important to get prompt treatment for open wounds. Even intentional cuts
during the course of surgery can increase the risk of infection. Thus, I feel the use of aseptic
techniques during and even after the course of surgery to prevent further infection. The outcome
