Major principles for wound dressing. 1  Use Standard Precautions at all times.  When using a swab or gauze to cleanse a wound, work from the clean area out toward the dirtier area. (Example: When cleaning a surgical incision, start over the incision line, and swab downward from top to bottom).
Definition of Assertion When someone makes a statement investing his strong belief in it, as if it is true, though it may not be, he is making an assertion. Assertion is a stylistic approach or technique involving a strong declaration, a forceful or confident and positive statement regarding a belief or a fact. Often, it is without proof or any support. Its purpose is to express ideas or feelings directly, for instance, âI have put my every effort to complete this task today.â
Claims, Premises, Arguments, Issues. A claim,or assertion,is a statement that could be put into the form of a declarative sentence. It can be in the form of a factor judgment,although the distinction between these two is often a matter of social consensus. A premiseis a claim that supports another claim. An argument, at its simplest, is a claim that is supported by a premise. In full texts, the main claim, or conclusion,is often supported by many premises, which are themselves supported by simple arguments (sometimes called sub-arguments).
