What the care plan considers
Swelling can complicate lower-leg wound care. Compression may be part of an appropriate plan after assessment, including consideration of circulation and the cause of the swelling.
- Lower-leg wounds and surrounding skin changes
- Review of circulation and the existing care plan
- Coordination of compression when clinically appropriate
- Communication with nurses, caregivers and treating clinicians
