Skilled Nurses are licensed to assess, care for, and treat clients’ wounds. The services they provide differ depending on the requirements of each client, but their general responsibilities include wound debridement, cleaning, dressing, bandaging, and working with the client’s doctor to figure out if the client requires other more specialized treatment like surgery. Nurses may also educate the client, their family caregivers, and other carers on proper wound care, including infection prevention and other considerations for appropriate management. Skilled nurses are also qualified to offer ostomy care, diabetic foot care, pressure ulcer care, and the monitoring of other conditions that may affect the healing process.
