Wound care involves the systematic cleaning and dressing of wounds to promote healing and
prevent infection. After cleaning, applying an appropriate dressing helps protect the wound and
creates a moist environment that optimizes healing.
Monitoring the wound for signs of infection is crucial for timely intervention and proper
healing. Here are some signs to watch for:
- Redness around the wound
- Increased swelling or pain
- Pus or foul-smelling drainage
- Fever
