Rattler's right knee wound.
Call me when you are
changing the dressing please.
Nurse: Okay. I should be
doing it in 10 minutes.

RN: Mrs. Rattler, we need to dress the wound and put a new bandage on
your arm.

Pt: Why are you going to put a new bandage on?

RN: To keep the dressing in the right place.

Pt: How does my wound look like?

RN: It looks better then yesterday, but it hasn't

healed yet. I see some redness around the wound. This ointment will help.
Now keep your arm straight please, and tell me if the bandage is too loose
or too tight. Now try to band your arm. Does it hurt?
Pt: Okay, you did just fine. I'm able to bend my arm and I don't feel any
pain right now. Thank you, nurse. Please show my daughter how to change
the dressing on my elbow, please.
RN: There is no problem, any time Mrs. Rattler.
