Copyright © 2002 Career Publishing, Inc. Visual 14-6 Dressings & Bandages Always remove rings, watches, or bracelets from the patient if you are dressing a hand or wrist. Try to leave the fingers and toes exposed so the circulation and sensation can be checked. Use sterile material. Control any bleeding. Open the dressing package using sterile technique, and touch only the corners, NOT the part that goes directly over the wound. Cover the entire wound.
Copyright © 2002 Career Publishing, Inc. Visual 14-7 Dressings & Bandages, Cont. Apply the bandage snugly, but not too tight. The bandage should not be too loose or it may slip. Secure all loose ends with tape or tuck them inside the bandage. Put the bandage on in the position in which it is to remain. Do not try to bend a bandaged joint. Ask the patient how the dressing feels. If it is uncomfortable, rearrange it.
Copyright © 2002 Career Publishing, Inc. Visual 14-8 Wound Care Keep the dressing clean and dry. If the dressing soaks through, add another gauze pad. If it gets wet, remove the dressing and replace it or return to the doctor. Watch the circulation in the injured extremity. Call the doctor if it becomes numb, tingly, pale, blue, or cold, or if the athlete experiences severe pain with motion. Cleanse the suture area twice a day using a solution of hydrogen peroxide, followed by an antibiotic ointment. Watch for signs of infection: redness, swelling, increased pain, a red streak up the arm or leg, foul- smelling drainage, or an elevation in temperature. If sutures were required, return for removal of the sutures in 5 to 14 days.

Copyright © 2002 Career Publishing, Inc. Visual Mike Meredith has been the city high hurdle champion ever since he was a freshman—quite a feat to say the least. His ultimate goal was to place a dime on each hurdle and come so close that he could knock them off without slowing down or knocking over a hurdle. With this drill there was always the chance of hitting one and falling down, but the drill increased his speed. Mike was lucky, he had never had a hard fall—until today. Tired from a long day at school and staying out late the night before, Mike didn’t concentrate very hard. He had done this drill a hundred times; in fact, he thought he could do it in his sleep. His final drill was a time trial. The coach set off the cadence: Ready… set… go. For some reason the starting blocks weren’t secured very well and they slipped slightly, slowing Mike’s start and putting him behind on his first hurdle. This didn’t bother him; he knew how to catch up. He buried his head down and went for it. Coming up to the sixth hurdle he was way

What should she have in her fanny pack to protect herself from coming in contact with blood? What are some things Tammy should watch the wound for over the next few days?
