We take lots of photographs of patient’s wounds to document their healing over time, to prove that we actually do some good.
I was at a patient’s house with an LPN co-worker the other day and she was photographing a patient’s wound with her cell phone because she lost her camera. Her phone was a fairly nice one, a Droid something or another similar to mine.
Weird to watch someone snapping photos with their cell phone of a patient, but that is something we do. The gross part was that she was changing the wound dressing and touching her cell phone back and forth with her gloves.
The same gloves.
Gross.
Minus 2 points from me on that supervisory visit!
