Performed several wound dressing changes, and saw my first stage four pressure ulcer. Also learned that when an IV infiltrates, particularly if lipids or certain medications were running through the IV line, that wound team follows them because of the risk of cellulitis. Did some measurements on a little boy who had cellulitus in his foot due to an IV infiltration. We signed off on this patient because the cellulitis is resolving and he doesn’t need our services anymore.Saw several patients in the outpatient clinic. Performed a dressing change on an ear wound, a G-tube assessment (it was leaking, and we gave the mom some cream to help with skin breakdown), and assisted with packing, cleaning, and dressing a wound formed because of a peri-anal cyst.
