Then came Kentucky. Not much to remember driving thru there but that the

satellite radio kept losing signal. At this point the drive was rather boring. Accept for the

fact that we were actually spending time together. We road quietly listening to the radio

and singing along to our favorite tunes. It didn t matter how boring the trip was at this

point because we were together and we were happy.

Then along came Georgia. Specifically when we got closer to downtown Atlanta.

We couldn t wait to get to this point of the trip to see what the city was like and what type

of activities were available as we drove thru. Unfortunately we were disappointed

because we were unable to stop and have a look around, because like most big cities, the

traffic was horrendous and we were already running slightly late. It felt like we could

have walked or road a bike down the highway faster than were driving. It took roughly 8

hours to get to Atlanta and all of two

Wound Healing Research Paper

Surgery, or managing open wounds and drainage from flaring of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) activity, your diet is important to provide an environment that optimizes your healing. Even small wounds can alter the way your metabolism processes nutrients. To understand the importance of nutrition in wound healing, we will first discuss how a wound heals and what happens during the wound healing process. * Understanding Wound Healing There are 4 phases to the process of wound healing, and there are factors…

Wound Healing Essay

The article “Factors Affecting Wound Healing” made me realize the intricacy of the process a wound must go through in order to heal. Hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remolding are all very important stages that lead to the healing of a wound. There are several factors and obstacles a wound must overcome before it can heal to its full capacity. When I was younger, I noticed how scraps and scratches (even the deeper ones) I’d receive from playing outside would heal and disappear quite…

Wound Healing Case Study

The aim of this assignment is to discuss and explore the process of wound healing by secondary intention. The assignment will also look at the wound Mrs Wallis gained on her leg, and discuss what it would look like after seventy two hours to the health care worker. The skin is the most complex yet largest organ in weight on the body and belongs to the Integumentary system (BBC 2014). The main layers of the skin consist of the epidermis, dermis and the hypodermis. Together these make up the structure…

Presumptive Healing Edge Case Study

Chronic wounds take a large and growing toll on the health and quality of life of people around the world and result in rising health care costs as well as losses in individual and societal productivity. In current practice, the edges of chronic wounds are visually examined to distinguish healthy tissue
from tissue that requires treatment. However, visual inspection may only identify a “presumptive healing edge” — not the true healing edge — resulting in treatments that may be sub-optimal and that…

Malnutrition In Acute Care

care facilities by taking the process of wound healing as an example to achieve that goal and make nutritional care more recognizable by the hospitals. Many studies have shown different effects that malnutrition can cause during this process. The analysis of the patients in multiple acute care facilities revealed that majority of them are insufficiently nourished or malnourished (Lavrinec, Mikus, Zajec, & Lavrinec, 2007). In malnourished patients, wounds were healing slowly and the risk of development…

PICO Research Paper Tap water vs. Saline

Introduction Proper cleansing is perhaps the key component for acute and chronic wound management. Cleansing methods differ among health care providers and institutions, and many times is based on an individual’s experience and preference. Many cleansing solutions exist today. In this research, the author focused on the use of tap water versus sterile cleansing solutions such as Normal Saline and sterile water. Many cleansing solutions are safe and have been proven to provide effective results…

Wound Healing Research Paper

A wound is a break or open cut to the skin. Most wounds go through a similar healing process. There are three phases in wound healing; inflammation, proliferation and regeneration, and maturation. In the first phase, inflammation, homeostasis begins. The blood vessels stop blood flow and platelets from a clot to stop the wound from bleeding. After the blood has clotted and bleeding has stopped or slowed, the blood vessels open back up and allow white blood cells and antibodies in the affected area…

Wound Healing: A Case Study

The Role of Nutritional Interventions with Wound Healing Clinical Question One common issue faced by nurses in healthcare is wounds. The treatment of pressure ulcers alone cost approximately $11 billion dollars per year in the United States (Sernekos, 2013). The estimated annual cost to treat pressure ulcers in the United Kingdom is approximately £1.4 to £2.1 billion pounds (Siang Choo, Hayter, & Watson, 2013). Pressure ulcers wounds are important to nursing practice because pressure ulcers often…

Chronic Wounds: A Case Study

One of the major treatments for this wound is patient education. The patient should be advised to cease smoking immediately (Sieggreen & Kline, 2004, p. 52). The patient should also be encouraged to increase his caloric and protein intake as well, because nutrition is extremely important for wound healing (Sieggreen & Kline, 2004, p. 52) This patient is also complaining of extreme pain in his leg during physical exertion. Due to his pathology, this pain is classified as intermittent claudication…

Outpatient Wound Clinic Case Study

Introduction Outpatient wound clinics are necessary for patients, so that they can be assessed, cleaned, and learn whether their wounds are properly healing or not, and why. In my visit to the clinic, I was able to observe those three situations and more. Seeing wound care in person, allowed me to learn the basics of caring for wounds, what to assess for, and why it is done. Explain the nurse’s role in the UMC Outpatient Wound Clinic In the wound care clinic in UMC, the nurse’s main role is to…
