So, let’s sum up!
Chronic wounds require careful assessment and care
planning that includes knowing the patient’s background
and local wound conditions. Treatment strategies are
matched to patient needs, supporting wound healing and
quality of life. Guidelines for wound assessment and
treatment strategies have been developed based on
research and other evidence, and are tied to the type of
wound. Varying schemes for the evaluation of evidence in
these guidelines make it difficult to compare them
directly. More research is required to support best
practices, the justification for therapies for efficacy
and cost-effectiveness, and the appropriate
implementation of treatment strategies.
That concludes the presentation, so it’s time to take
the course evaluation and post-test.
The organizations that provide this course’s continuing
education accreditations, and your credits for this
course, require each of you to fill out a course
evaluation and to pass the post-test with eight or more
correct answers in order to receive CE credit.
