What are the Nursing Interventions During the Proliferative Phase?
Nurses play a vital role in managing and facilitating the wound healing process. Key interventions include:
Wound Assessment: Regularly assessing the wound for signs of infection, necrosis, and healing progress. Wound Cleaning: Keeping the wound clean to prevent infection and promote a healthy healing environment. Dressing Changes: Using appropriate dressings that maintain a moist wound environment, which is crucial for healing. Nutrition Support: Ensuring the patient has adequate nutrition, particularly protein, vitamins A and C, and zinc, which are essential for tissue repair. Patient Education: Educating the patient on wound care, signs of infection, and the importance of adherence to the treatment plan.
