Course overview
Learners develop high-level dressing selection skills based on wound physiology, moisture balance, tissue type, bioburden risk, and patient factors (pain, mobility, adherence, comorbidities). The course emphasizes why this dressing now, dressing change frequency planning, secondary dressings, securement methods, and advanced bandaging techniques to protect fragile skin, reduce shear, and optimize healing conditions.

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