Lesão cutânea: abordagem do enfermeiro direcionada aos cuidados

Abstract

This study was conducted based on a project called "TAKE A LESION". This project has as main objective, to adopt the lesion of a patient at risk of developing it or previously installed, allowing the reduction of the high rates of this disease. The work "CUTANEOUS INJURY: NURSE APPROACH DIRECTED TO TAKING CARE" sought to draw a line of action in the satisfactory evolution of a skin lesion. The research consisted of data collection through bibliographic studies and field research (observation and analysis), where an elderly person was selected due to the presence of an injury and its characteristics. It was followed its evolution until the total closure of the lesion. The role of nurses in the treatment of injuries and wounds is an activity that is already part of their work routine, and this function is of their full autonomy. The research also looked forward to verify the performance and knowledge of the nursing professional in the chosen theme and may contribute with new information on the subject.
