What Are the Considerations for Choosing Securing Methods?
When choosing a method to secure dressings, nurses must consider several factors: - Skin Integrity: The patient's skin condition should be assessed to avoid causing irritation or damage. - Mobility: The dressing should remain secure even if the patient is active. - Comfort: The method should not cause discomfort or restrict movement. - Allergies: Be aware of any allergies to adhesives or materials used in the securing process.
