About this document

Essential Wound Care Guidelines by Jenny Lopez Bocangel is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document provides guidance for patients to monitor their own wounds by watching for signs of necrosis, maceration, desiccation, and cellulitis and informing nurses if these issues arise. It explains that necrosis requires debridement of dead tissue, maceration can result from too much moisture, and cellulitis may need draining of exudate from inflamed connective tissue. Patients are advised to keep their wounds from getting too wet or dry to aid proper healing.
