Apply Principles of Wound Management: David Pearson Case Study Plan

This assignment is a wound management plan for a 57-year-old patient, Mr. David Pearson, who underwent a total knee replacement. The plan addresses the patient's presenting problem (post-operative wound), medical history (osteoarthritis, hypertension), and reason for admission. It includes a detailed wound assessment using a provided chart, covering wound location, dimensions, appearance, exudate, and stage. The plan also outlines the type of wound, dressings used (crepe bandage), and details about the patient's diet, elimination, and mobility. The wound care assessment and plan meticulously documents the patient's condition, the nurse's review, and the duration of the wound. It includes information about the surrounding skin, suture lines, and pain levels, providing a comprehensive overview of the patient's wound management needs.
