Cleaning the wound and applying a dressing to it is a practical and necessary nursing action to prevent infection and promote healing. While inspecting and examining the wound and advising caution are also important, they do not necessarily represent caring skills on their own. Informing the client that the wound will heal easily may also be reassuring but should be supported by accurate information and assessment of the wound.
