Chronic Wound Assessment
Wound assessment
There are many factors
that affect the person’s ability to heal a wound. The most important factor to
consider is the person experiencing the wound. Therefore, a holistic approach
is of paramount importance.
You should always
remember that the person’s needs and wishes are of the utmost importance and
any assessment and subsequent care must be negotiated.
