Short Summary: The Effects Of Nutrition On Wound Healing

Protein is obviously what everyone’s body part is made up of protein and so the fibrous tissue which is result to healing if low protein this tissue is not synthesized and high protein can increase it rates. Carbohydrates, as they are provide the main structural materials required for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissue. A&P 9th ed. Pg.50

• Nutrition- Mani (2003) claims that nutrition is a fundamental role that must be adopted in the treatment and healing process of pressure ulcers. A balanced diet with adequate nutrients should be key for all patients deemed to be at risk of pressure ulcers. Both nutrition and hydration are the basic components in promoting wound healing and maintaining normal tissue integrity. Patients at risk of pressure ulcers should be nutritionally assessed at regular intervals (Shepard. 2003). This could have been adopted by the use of assessment tools such as, The Nutritional Screening initiative. This tool includes nutritional screening at regular intervals and a comprehensive assessment that includes nutritional assessment, functional assessment and evaluation for depression. This comprehensive approach allows the nurse to quantify the nutritional problems and initiate the appropriate resources that will meet with the individual needs (Bryant, 2000). Another optional tool is the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool or MUST. This has been designed by the Malnutrition Advisory Group (MAG) of the British

In burns, free radicals and lipid peroxidation increases and also decreases the total antioxidant activity to deal with them and a reduction in antioxidant scavenging capacity. in the burn wound, increased inflammation and decreased tissue perfusion and increased activity of free radicals that makes it difficult healing process

The main outcome measures were the percent area of the wound compared to baseline area of the wound. As the wound decreased in size it is theoretically assumed that the wound is healing. The central concepts of the study were based on ultraviolet-C positive effects on wound healing in vitro. In vitro studies effects include; modification of growth factors, fibronectin release from fibroblast, epidermal cell proliferation, killing of pathogens, accelerated DNA synthesis, and antibiotic-resistant organisms.

Deficiencies in a persons diet can impede progression through the normal stages of wound healing. Malnutrition has also been related to an increase in infection rates. Jean understood this and assured me she would take this in to account to enable the healing process. Jean went on to explain that the injury was caused when somebody ran into her leg with a supermarket trolley. She had initially applied a dry dressing but attended her GP’s when the wound became wet and painful.

Skin repair is an important physiological process which is essential for homeostasis, restoring barrier function and preventing infection (Martin, 2009; Boateng and Catanzano, 2015). Wound healing is defined as a complex, dynamic and the specific biological process associated with the phenomena of tissue regeneration and growth (Mazumder et al., 2016). Regeneration can be defined as a tissue that significantly damaged either completely or partially removed and tissue's original function and cell types must be functional and structurally restored (Mazumder et al., 2016). The process of healing comprises a cytokine, blood cells, extracellular matrix and growth factor (Joao De Masi et al., 2016). The growth factor is a protein that activates and

Wound closure was determined as a decline in the wound area over study time period and also efficiently examined under in vivo conditions via quantitative measurement of skin wound area at specified time intervals in acute and streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic mice models (Sharpe et al., 2013). Experimental data set indicating original wound morphology and how the wound size reduced over time in NCs treated swiss albino mice as compared to their respective controls at day 3, 8 and 14 post-wounding (acute) and at day 3, 10, and 18 post-wounding (diabetic) has been presented in Fig. 6.13

Researchers will decide to select wound infections that occur after open heart surgery as a topic for their study, because it is significant for staff nurses to know the effect of wound infections that occurs with the adult patients. Researchers will obtain permission from the cardiac surgery center so that they could collect information from adult patients. They will also contact and meet with staff nurses in cardiac surgery center. Nurse educators will provide the form to all staff nurses working in the operating room. The form includes the title of the study, the purpose of the study, place of the work, duration of the study, potential benefits, potential risks, participant signature, and date. The reader can follow that consent

Wound size, color, amount of swelling, odor, and drainage must be monitored and reported if abnormal. It is critical to keep track of the healing process because infection can quickly run rapid through the wound. It is normal for the wound bed to be red, but if the borders are red and swollen, infection can be occurring. With the help of growth factors, the wound bed has cells working harder and the proper blood flow moving to the site (Bronneke, 2015). This helps prevent infection by getting the white blood cells where they need to go. Infection goes along with odorous wounds and yellow or green drainage as well. Not only are nurses inspecting wounds, but also administering or applying solutions to the damaged area. It is important to administer correct dosage and to the right area (Jacobsen, 2005). The incorrect amount can dramatically change the wound healing course. Wound care nurses are needed highly in this area to benefit the patient the

Based on the predicted results of this proposed experiment, the length of the scars seems to decrease over time because of the Vitamin D3 more than the sunlight.

Wound management is one of the cornerstones for nursing care however, effective wound care extends far beyond the application of the wound itself. Nurses may be required to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate wound care; therefore, order to fill these roles it’s critical to have an understanding of the several different areas of wound care such as, integumentary system, classification of wounds, wound procedures, and documentation. Knowledge in each of these areas will allow nurses to make well informed decisions about wound care, and as a result play an active part in wound healing.

The role of inflammation in tissue healing is to help to promote healing and create an environment around the injured area that is optimal for the best healing time and for the best healing process to take place. In order to complete this the body must remain in a balanced homeostasis, this being a level at which the bodies temperature, blood pH and water balance are constant. Remaining at a balanced homeostasis will mean that the inflammatory response is able to work effectively as it has the right conditions in which to perform at its
