This assignment presents a comprehensive wound management assessment for a 70-year-old patient, Mahalia, admitted to the hospital with various health issues including breathing difficulties, low blood pressure, and oedema, along with wounds. The assessment requires detailed physical and wound assessments, identification of the likely causes of the wounds, consideration of comfort needs and pain management, and factors influencing wound healing. It also explores appropriate wound product selection, compares modern wound care with historical practices, and discusses modes of infection transmission. The assignment also requires the identification of community resources for wound management, and evaluation of a nursing care plan, including communication of progress and outcomes. The assessment concludes with a table defining acute and chronic wounds, causes, and wound management techniques, alongside definitions of key wound terminology.
