Learners will be able to:

  1. Select primary/secondary dressings using a structured decision framework (tissue, moisture, edge, periwound, infection risk).
  2. Justify change frequency and expected outcomes for each dressing choice.
  3. Apply advanced bandaging/securement strategies for challenging anatomy and fragile skin.
  4. Troubleshoot common failures (strike-through, adherence trauma, maceration, pain, leakage, rolling edges).
  5. Adapt plans for functional needs (mobility, ADLs, transfers, rehab goals, offloading tolerance).
