There may be a loss of bowel and bladder function as the nervous system shuts down. The caregiver - usually a nurse or hospice caretaker - may suggest a catheter to collect urine; you can also place absorbent pads on the bed in case of accidents.

Best Answer: Wounds start healing before scabs form. In fact, scabs are not necessary for a wound to heal. Studies have shown that wounds kept covered heal up to 3 days faster than wounds left uncovered; covered wounds stay moist and often don't scab at all. So, I would advise you use some antibacterial ointment such as neosporin and then bandage your cut.
