Reflection On Wound Dressing
I was engaged when I transfer the patient from bed to a wheelchair because I had a chance to work as a nurse. A patient I was taking care of was placed in contact isolation because the patient has a history of MRSA and I had a chance to don PPE to protect my cloths and to reduce cross-contamination. In addition, I was engaged when the instructor demonstrated how to change the wound dressing.

    The Principles and Practice of Moist Wound Healingg

    Caring for patients with wounds is commonly encountered in a nurse’s career in most health care settings, whether it is in neonatal, mental health, community, or aged care. In the past, wound dressings were created to absorb all exudate, believing that dry wounds will reduce the risk of infection. Within the last fifty years, the concept of moist wound therapy has become the most effective approach to wound care. Before treating any wound, it is important to discover the underlying cause and consider other possible factors that may impact on the healing process and deliver a systematic and rational approach towards wound care assessment. Nurses must have a basic understanding of wound physiology, and must develop a systemic approach when they are selecting the most safest and effective dressing product available. Moist wound healing plays a vital role by accelerating epithelialisation by providing an environment as natural as possibly by using various synthetic wound care products The role and responsibility of the nurse and other members of the health care team have an ongoing duty to ensure that the basic principles and practice of moist wound healing are in place before treating any patients presenting wounds.…

    Wound Care: Teaching Unit

    The space assigned to the wound care group is half of D106 classroom. The physical work area will be restricted to the table arrangement in the front of the classroom. The therapist's teaching table will be parallel to the front of the room in front of the white board to create a focal point for the participants' attention. Perpendicular to the teaching table, the therapist should also place two long tables together along the horizontal edge and make sure five chairs are surrounding the table (see diagram 1). This set-up allows all participants to see and hear the therapist demonstrating how to perform the task. One packet of materials will be placed in front of each participant, so that all patients will have easy access to materials and not have to organize them, as…

    A Reflection of the Skills Acquired from Inter-Professional Education and How They May Be Applied in Practice

    In the IPE module, I was allocated into a group where there was a variety of healthcare programmes, which included Pharmacy, Radiography, Adult Nursing and Paramedics. As a group, our roles were the same because we discussed several different topics linked into the concept of professionalism for healthcare professionals, which consisted of communication, consent, safeguarding, ethics and diversity. This was a great platform to share my thoughts with my colleagues and it enhanced my listening skills because most of the group contributed and had their own opinions, which, as a healthcare professional, one has to respect.…

    Furthermore, this activity helps me to draw out the best from me and some ideas that I never thought I have somewhere in my mind. Also, respect for other health care professional or students come into play for acting toward one goal and learning new things and implement in future practice. Technological advances and increasing specialization of health professional practice made care complex and IPE activities help overcoming that barrier. There is increasing evidence that interprofessional education is integral to addressing issues such as patient safety, chronic disease management and primary health care, through the establishments of more effective health care teams. To approach similar case in future I would see patient as a whole, understanding…
