Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 15 MAS 356 short lesson, about 20 seconds
How Much Drainage
Captions available
The idea
The amount of drainage is described as scant, small, moderate or large.
In practice
Scant means the wound is moist but the dressing shows no measurable drainage; moderate covers a quarter to three quarters of the dressing; large covers more than three quarters.
Where people slip
Record both the type and the amount at every dressing change.
