(210) Wound Forensic Files: Follow the Evidence Trail
Time: 3:10 PM to 4:10 PM
Description
Analyzing a wound through a forensic lens means viewing the injury not just as a clinical problem but as a "crime scene" with an evidence trail that tells a story about how, when, and why the wound or skin condition occurred. Forensic WOC nursing involves investigating patients' stories, root causes of breakdown, using documented findings for diagnosing wound and skin conditions and directing appropriate treatment. This session will allow attendees to practice the "wound detective" approach via case studies' scrutiny and analysis.
