Nutrition for wound healing

[Guest guest]

We are working on skin integrity standing orders and have a difference of

opinion with our dept director (not an RD, but going to school for that).

He found an article from Wound Care Canada recommending up to 40 and 40+

cal/Kg for Severe wounds/ Stage IV Pressure ulcers and Burns. Are you guys

going up to 40 and 40+ calories? Also while we are at it, what

recommendations are you using for protien? And are there any new or

different recommendations for Vit C, Zinc, Multivitamins?

Thanks,

Holly Moler-Krohne RD

If you have access to ADA's Nutrition Care Manual, it has information on

what is recommended for people with pressure ulcers. The NCM suggests

~30 cals/kg or per individual basis for people w/ pressure ulcers.
