Caring for your wound can help you heal faster. Here is what you need to know.
Most wounds heal well / 5 simple steps
Most wounds heal well when you care for them every day. Here are the five important steps.
Step One / Wash your hands.
One. Wash your hands. Before and after touching your wound, wash your hands with soap and water. Twenty seconds. This helps prevent infection.
Step Two / Check your wound.
Two. Check your wound in good light. Look at it carefully once a day. Learn what it looks like when it is healing.
Step Three / Clean dressing.
Three. Keep the dressing dry and clean. Follow your nurse's instructions for changing it. If it gets wet or dirty, change it right away.
Step Four / Eat well. Drink water.
Four. Eat well and drink water. Your body needs protein and water to heal. Eat meat, eggs, beans, or chicken. And drink water throughout the day.
Step Five / Call if you see these signs
Five. Call your Avatar nurse if you see these signs. If you see redness spreading, pus, bad smell, or fever — call right away. If the wound bleeds a lot or the pain is bad, call. Do not wait.
