Practical tips for incontinence.

Incontinence of urine and feces is a commonly encountered problem, particularly among bedridden elders. Although incontinence is often a transient problem precipitated by the onset of an unrelated medical condition or use of certain medications, incontinent patients are at high risk for developing both perineal dermatitis and pressure ulcers resulting from friction and shear injury.

Choosing a wound dressing: a systematic approach.

Wound care presents a particular challenge in the critical care setting. Decisions about how to cleanse a wound and which dressing to use are often complicated by unexpected changes in the patient's condition, or the sudden occurrence of a wound infection. In this high-risk patient population, timely changes in topical therapy often can mean the difference between a wound that heals, or one that rapidly deteriorates. Much of the confusion over wound care and wound care products can be minimized by using a systematic approach to wound assessment. This chapter describes such an approach and summarizes local treatment options based on wound appearance.
