This document provides an overview of wound care including wound healing processes, types of wounds, evaluation and documentation of wounds, and wound management. It discusses the stages of wound healing including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Different types of wounds such as incisions, lacerations, abrasions, and puncture wounds are described along with factors to evaluate like location, size, exudate, signs of infection, and surrounding tissue condition. Methods of documentation including photography and standardized descriptions are covered. The management section addresses wound care plans, cleaning, debridement, exudate management using various dressing materials, and treatment of infections.
