What members of the health care team should be consulted for a patient with a stage II sacral ulcer?

Explanation

• A wound nurse is specially trained to assess wounds and recommend specific treatment options. A dietician can assess the patient for caloric needs and recommend a diet to improve wound healing.

• Physical therapy and respiratory therapy are not needed for wound management.

• A physician should already be involved in the patient's care.

• There is no indication that the wound is infected or that the patient needs an infectious disease specialist.
