1. Case Scenario and Course Overview
In this chapter, we will introduce the topics to be covered and learning objectives for this course. An example of a patient situation you may encounter in your work with patients will be presented. This scenario will be referenced throughout the course.
2. Wound Types and Factors That Affect Healing
This chapter will define the term “wound” and provide descriptions of two types of wound healing. Factors that impact how quickly a wound can heal will also be presented. The patient situation presented at the beginning of the course will be used to connect the topics discussed in this chapter to what an aide may experience while providing care to a patient with a wound.
3. Providing Safe and Effective Wound Care
The aide must take special precautions when providing personal care to patients with wounds. This chapter discusses home health aide goals for providing care for patients with wounds, and the personal care considerations to watch for, such as signs and symptoms that may indicate infection or changes in the wound. The importance of utilizing infection prevention and control strategies while providing personal care is discussed.
4. Documentation and Reporting
The home health aide must report and document any changes in the patient’s condition that are observed during a visit. This chapter provides a demonstration of an aide observing important factors that may impact the patient's wound healing and reporting these changes to her supervisor.
