Content PDF handout

Pdf Summary

Continuing Education (CEU) courses provide healthcare professionals with knowledge and skills in wound assessment and management. The course covers topics such as wound healing, types of wounds, wound care techniques, and wound care for specific populations. Dressings for wound care should be selected based on the characteristics of the wound, and factors such as the frequency of dressing changes and the patient's needs should be considered. When choosing wound care products, it is important to work with the purchasing department and consider factors such as product availability and therapeutic value. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are open wounds that commonly occur in people with diabetes. DFUs require thorough assessment and off-loading treatment to relieve pressure. Early detection and treatment of infection in DFUs are crucial. Other atypical wounds require specific care and treatment based on the individual patient's needs.
