You are a registered nurse who works with wound care patients. J. S. is a 34 year-old woman who had a mastectomy six weeks ago. She developed a staph infection and the surgical site was debrided as part of the treatment.

You now care for J. S. at her home and photograph her wound. The photos are sent to the multidisciplinary care team at the wound center. The team makes changes in the treatment plan based on your assessment and photographs of the wound. A physician in a nearby state also has a weekly video conference with J. S. about the plan of care.
