Purchasing Products
most practices have agreements with distributors
the fee for dressings is either born by the practice or passed on to
the patient
if asking the patient to purchase their own dressings perhaps look
at distributors that will offer products at reasonable prices

Rebate schemes
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) patients will be able to secure
most dressings as long as the general practitioner writes the required
item on a script
11996 is the Medicare item number to be used for the nurse
performing wound care
AWMA is seeking to have products listed on PBS

Key Points for Skin Tears
develop your own set of protocols for managing skin tears
write these up and add to your wound resource folder
companies do have protocols for you to follow

What is reasonable to care for ingeneral practice?
small superficial partial burns not involving face, feet, hands,
perineum, genitalia on the very young or the elderly
further guidelines and very good advice may be found on the NSW
DoH Website for Severe Burn Injury or ringing Concord Burns Unit
8/11/2019 Praymer+Tungkol+Sa+Pagpapasuso+Sa+Sanggol miemie122390741
34/61
Superficial Burn Characteristics
epidermis only
erythema (vasodilatation)
tenderness (nerve irritability)
oedema.
8/11/2019 Praymer+Tungkol+Sa+Pagpapasuso+Sa+Sanggol miemie122390741
35/61
Superficial Partial Burn Characteristics
epidermis and outer dermis
blisters (fluid shift)
shedding of skin
painful exposed (nerve endings to kinins)
bleeds when pricked with needle
hair present (hard to pull out)
full sensation
blanches on pressure.

Anatomical Site Considerations
hands
feet
face
perineum
genitalia
joints
circumferential burns
8/11/2019 Praymer+Tungkol+Sa+Pagpapasuso+Sa+Sanggol miemie122390741
38/61
Other Considerations
extremes of age: very young or very old will need special care
co-morbidities
medications.
8/11/2019 Praymer+Tungkol+Sa+Pagpapasuso+Sa+Sanggol miemie122390741
39/61
What to do about blisters?
controversial: removal causes pain
tense blisters can interfere with
dermal circulation, restrict movement
beware of blisters with red rings
blisters can hide deep burns
popped blisters may need to bedebrided.
8/11/2019 Praymer+Tungkol+Sa+Pagpapasuso+Sa+Sanggol miemie122390741
40/61
Key Points for Burns
have standard policies and procedures
know where nearest specialist burns centre is and how long it takes
by road or air
liaise with burn centre for care in interim
closely monitor patient for signs of impending infection and sepsis.

Example of a Burn Protocol
superficial partial thickness burns of less than 10% body surface
area, not involving feet, face, hands, genitalia, over joints, the
very young and the elderly, can be nursed in the practice
deeper partial thickness burns of less than 5% body surface area
will be treated in the practice BUTif no response within one week
should be referred on

Venous Ulcer Management
ensure adequate dressing to assist in managing wound exudate
if thinking some bacteria present use an anti microbial, cover with
absorbent pad apply light crepe bandage toes to knee
then cover the bandage with different length layers of straight
elasticated tubular bandage or shaped tubular bandage
8/11/2019 Praymer+Tungkol+Sa+Pagpapasuso+Sa+Sanggol miemie122390741

3 layers of straight elasticated bandage
8/11/2019 Praymer+Tungkol+Sa+Pagpapasuso+Sa+Sanggol miemie122390741
50/61
Arterial Ulcer Management
have the patient reviewed by a vascular surgeon
use Iodosorb powder if the wound is wet or if the area is dry
then paint it with Betadine
if the surgeon can not revascularise, then the wound is maintenance
or palliative and the aim is to keep it infection free and stable

Foot Wounds
The high risk foot:

neuropathic diseases
congenital or other foot abnormalities

Monofilament Testing
Semmes-Weinstein monofilament is often used to assess protective
sensation in the feet of patients with diabetes
nylon filament mounted on a holder
10 gram force
assess 10 sites over the foot, randomly so the
patient cannot anticipate the next sitehttp:/ndep.nih.gov/resources/feet/index.htm

Key Points for Diabetic Foot Ulcerations
remember diabetics may have micro or macro vascular disease or both
always be suspicious of infection
do not use occlusive dressings on foot wounds
HBO is often helpful in diabetic vascular wounds and osteomyelitis
Assistance is available via the SSWAHS High Risk Foot Service

Conclusions
wounds in general practice are varied
it is ideal to have treatment cards for most common types of
wounds seen
product range needs to be kept to a minimum but cover all generic
types of wounds and an antimicrobial
always establish the underlying diagnosis of the wound and reassess
if failing to follow normal healing pathways

Wound Management Competency
Standards for General Practice Nurses Wound management competency standards for general practice nurses have
been developed as part of the Nursing in General Practice Program at General
Practice NSW and funded by the Australian Government Department of Health
and Ageing
Cpetency standards should be used as a framework to assess competence and
should be read in conjunction with:
the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council competency standards
the Competency Standards for Nurses in General Practice the Australian Wound Management Association standards
Standards may be accessed on the APNA website:
http://www.apna.asn.au/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=294
