Wound Management

Framework (5 modules):

• Systematic wound assessment — same technique every time, so trends are actually visible

• Wound types and how they heal — intention types, healing phases, and what slows healing down

• Dressing selection and technique — matching dressing category to what the wound actually needs

• Pressure injury staging and prevention — general staging concepts (explicitly non-authoritative, pointing to your facility's official reference) plus prevention priorities

• Recognizing complications — expected findings vs. real complications, including dehiscence and evisceration

Practice Lab — Wound Management Practice Lab (5 drills):

• Read the wound bed — 6 scenarios identifying granulation / slough / eschar / epithelializing tissue

• Healing as expected? — 7 before/after comparisons classified as normal progression or a concerning trend

• Match the dressing — 6 scenarios routed to transparent film / foam or alginate / hydrocolloid / negative pressure

• Which category? — 6 general staging-concept scenarios (deliberately described in my own educational language, not reproducing any specific proprietary staging system verbatim)

• Complication or expected? — 8 findings sorted into expected / notify the provider / emergency, including evisceration and uncontrolled bleeding
