Wound chart

Q: As to section 2 b. document your assessment findings on the wound management chart, is wound management chart mentioned at instruction section 2 the same with wound assessment chart we are given?

• Yes

• Yes, the wound products table needs to have references. We will accept website references from the product manufacturers for this section (but don’t just cut and paste!)

Initial assessment

Q: What is the initial assessment? What is expected we do for this part?

• The initial patient assessment relates to the specific patient elements you need to know about the patient…., such as medical history, things that might impact on wound healing etc. Go back to the assessment ppts for more information.

Q: Hi, I am not quite sure what to write in Section 1: a, where I have to describe the initial assessment of the patient. What does it mean by initial assessment?

Do I just give brief information about the patient’s background and condition?  

• Yes and things that may impact on wound or healing

How many words should I write in this part?

• The word count should potentially reflect the marks allocated. That would mean that you wouldn’t allocate the most words for a section that has the least marks
