- Changing Dressings correctly:
- Wash your hands.
- Remove the old dressing. Moisten it with warm water or saline solution if it is stuck.
- Observe the wound for redness, size, secretion, and color, and then record it.
- Gently clean the wounded area with saline solution from the center of the wound to the outer area until it is clean. The dressing can only be used once; if you are going to use any ointment or wound cream, apply a small amount to the open area and not the surrounding skin.
- Cover the wound with a bandage or gauze pad.
- Use clean or disinfectant dressings when you need to touch the wound.
- To heal the wound, keep the wound clean, move and adjust your positions to help relieve pressure, and intake more fish, meats, beans, eggs and vitamin A.
- Things to be aware of:
- Change bandages daily, if it is wet or dirty, notify medical staff.
- Tell the nurse if the wound bleeds.
- Don’t touch the wound directly.
- Use disinfected bandages to cover wounds.
- Cover the wound with a bandage or gauze pad and do not open the bandage at will.
