We did a joint visit to redress a patient’s right foot necrosis wound. We arrived at the patient’s home, and he had just finished eating breakfast. I gained his consent and explained what we were going to do. The diabetic patient had DTI. I observed and practised under the supervisor’s guidance to redress the patient’s wound. I removed the old dressing, cleaned it with normal saline, and dried it with a tissue towel. I used an Inadine dressing to keep the wound from becoming infected. Kerramax help, N-A dressing, and yellow line

I have gained more confidence in my ability to dress a patient’s wound by applying dressings that speed up the healing process and may help to relieve pressure. Also, the patient is due for a month’s observation to check the temperature, which is 36.6, oxygen saturation, which is 90%; COPD patient; pulse rate, which is 64, respiration rate, which is 18; and blood pressure, which is 105/56, for a total news score of 1

I escalated this to the practice supervisor because oxygen saturation was low, and she asked the patient if he had COPD. Still, the patient said no, I don’t have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The nurse found out that the patient had COPD and an oxygen saturation rate of 90%, which is good because the normal range for COPD is 88%, so the news score is 0.

I have learned that reading patient notes before visiting their home is a good practice to know their medical history.

The student has gained confidence in her approach to seeking the patient’s consent and her skills in using aseptic techniques throughout redressing the patient’s wounds.
