Teach your students how wounds occur (mechanical forces or physical injury). Discuss types of wounds (intentional, unintentional, open and closed, acute and chronic, partial thickness, full thickness, complex) and their causes. Make sure your students understand the physiology of wound healing and can describe the four phases of wound healing (hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferation, maturation). Brainstorm with the class to develop a list of the characteristics of each phase.

Discussion Topics Compare and contrast the healing process (including factors that will affect that process) between the following two patients: An elderly patient who presented with a stage I pressure ulcer last week and a 25-year-old with an abdominal stab wound that was surgically repaired 2 days ago. Case Studies You are a nurse in a unit in a hospital caring for a 27-year-old professional football player who underwent surgery to repair a compound fracture of his femur. The surgery went smoothly and you are responsible for his postoperative care after he returns from PACU. What is his skin’s role in preventing infection before surgery? Describe how you would expect his wound to heal. Indicate factors that could affect the healing of his surgical Write a brief report discussing the process of wound healing, the factors that affect this process, and the condition of the wound assessed.
