dc.description.abstract | Acute wounds and injuries are a common daily occurrence, and their appropriate care is critical to healing. In South Africa, community pharmacists are often the first to encounter acute wounds and injuries such as cuts, bites, bruises and sprains, due to the accessibility and cost constraints associated with primary healthcare facilities. Since pharmacists assist with first aid, refer the patient for further management if necessary, and provide the appropriate dressings during the later healing phase, it is imperative for pharmacists to stay informed on developments in wound care. This review aims to highlight some of the more common acute wounds and injuries encountered by pharmacists, such as cuts, bites, bruises and sprains, and the associated therapeutic strategies. | en_US |
