Abstract
many local and systemic factors; if any of these goes wrong, a chronic wound may result. (Common forms of these nonhealing or slow-to-heal wounds include diabetic, pressure, and vascular ulcers, and surgical wounds that don't heal as expected.) The purpose of this article is to familiarize readers with the factors that can alter normal wound healing and to identify appropriate nursing assessments and interventions for patients with chronic wounds. You'll find that the wound is not merely a hole in the patient-on the contrary, adequate wound care requires the nurse to assess the whole patient. Only then will it become possible to maximize outcomes and, ultimately, the patient's quality of life.
