Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 21 MAS 509 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Choosing a Bandage
Captions available
The idea
After the bleeding stops, cover the site with a bandage that suits the patient.
In practice
Ask about allergies to tape, adhesive or latex; for fragile skin, such as older adults' skin, choose a gentle covering, because removing adhesive can tear it.
Where people slip
Check the site again before the patient leaves.
