    Thank you for responding. What i am asking is how many did you study. I know about the labs. But for wound care, did you study 4-5 diff types of wounds? Did you study your nursing dx? Would you say 20 diff scenarios?

    The care plans i studied were:
    Impaired mobility, Deficient fluid volume, impaired verbal comm., Impaired skin integrity, inflammatory bowel disease, activity intolerance, ineffective airway clearance, impaired gas exchange, fear, risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction, ineffective breathing pattern, fatigue, and risk for injury, risk for falls, risk for injury R/T maturational age, Diarrhea.

    For the wound; i practice the flower method and the loose rope method, the rope cannot be tight it must be fluffy. So there you are, hope this helps.
