Quarterly care planning meetings often include the resident or designated representative (when they can attend), caregiver and interdisciplinary team members. Many of our residents have various wounds, other than due to pressure. Residents with arterial/ venous insufficiency (peripheral vascular disease/ stasis ulcers), diabetic, or surgical wounds are younger than the population with pressure ulcers. Utilization of a local hospital’s wound center for vascular, diabetic and surgical wounds are made when pertinent to diagnosing or evaluating treatment options. Management of these other wounds are more challenging as residents often do not wish to raise legs, wear special hose, follow diets, or have dressing changed, per physician orders for frequency. This mixed population demands weekly education with physician present. Important considerations include residents’ mental competency, danger to self or others with refusal, prior life style preferences and resident’s goals and objectives for his/ her health and happiness. The team feels that appropriate care is a balance between what is needed and safe versus individual rights and preferences.
