HLTENN006 Wound Management: David Pearson Knee Replacement Plan

This assignment presents a wound management plan for Mr. David Pearson, a 57-year-old patient admitted after undergoing a total knee replacement. The plan includes an overview of his medical history, including osteoarthritis and hypertension, and details the assessment of the surgical wound on his right knee. The wound assessment covers location, stage, dimensions, exudate type and amount, surrounding skin condition, and suture line status. The plan outlines the interventions, such as dressing changes twice a day using saline or Ringer’s solution, and monitoring for signs of infection. The document also includes pre-admission mobility levels, assistance required for ADLs, and pain management strategies. This resource is designed to help nursing students understand and apply the principles of wound management in a clinical setting, with additional solved assignments and past papers available on Desklib.
