Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Participants learn to assess open foot wounds thoroughly, including evaluating wound size, depth, and tissue characteristics. They also gain skills in identifying signs of infection, such as erythema, warmth, and purulent drainage.
The simulation provides opportunities to practice various debridement techniques for removing necrotic tissue, slough, and foreign material from open foot wounds. Participants learn about the importance of debridement in promoting wound healing and preventing complications.
Participants learn about different types of dressings used in the management of open foot wounds, including hydrocolloids, foams, alginates, and antimicrobial dressings. They gain skills in selecting appropriate dressings based on wound characteristics and applying them effectively to promote wound healing.
The simulation emphasizes the importance of infection control measures in preventing wound infections and complications. Participants learn about techniques for wound irrigation, cleansing, and disinfection, as well as strategies for minimizing the risk of contamination during wound care procedures.
Participants learn about pain assessment and management strategies for patients with open foot wounds. They gain skills in assessing pain levels, implementing non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., positioning, distraction techniques), and administering analgesic medications as appropriate.
