NSB612 Wound Care in Practice

Providing complex wound care to people in acute, residential and community health areas is a growing challenge for health care services. Quality wound care requires an individualised and holistic approach as impacts are seen in every aspect of a person's life. This unit provides you with knowledge of acute and chronic wounds and specifically addresses challenges related to providing optimal evidence-based wound care. This unit takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining the science of wound healing, the principles and application of nursing care while also incorporating a necessary sustainable and planetary health approach to care of an individual with a wound and the wider community. Learning activities reflect real world nursing practice and assist you to respond to the challenges of assessment, management, and prevention of a range of acute and chronic wounds using an evidence-based, person-centred approach.
