Chronic wounds disproportionately affect older adults and impose substantial morbidity and mortality on millions of older Americans. Chronic wounds are more common among older adults because of the number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors they have that impact wound healing.

This self-paced wound series will focus on different etiologies of wounds, walk through the process of determining wound healability, and provide some other basic guidance for the geriatric APP to feel confident in their ability to participate in chronic wound management. After completing this learning activity, the participant will be able to accurately measure wounds, identify wound etiologies, describe adjunctive therapies for wound care, and demonstrate quality wound care documentation.
