| A partial-thickness wound involves the epidermis, dermis, or both. It is a superficial wound and may present as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater. |
|
| Goals of Care: Restore skin integrity and avoid infection. |
|
| Wound and Skin Care Objectives: Protect intact periwound skin, cleanse wound, manage wound exudate, debride wound, hydrate wound, and manage wound odor. |

|
| Note: Cautious use of moisture-retentive
dressings and close monitoring is recommended with ischemic
wounds. If peripheral pulses are absent, do not use occlusive
dressings. Examples of non-occlusive dressings include
a hydrogel in amorphous or sheet form, calcium alginate,
or impregnated gauze sponge. Examples of non-occlusive
cover dressings include a composite dressing or gauze. |
