Check for infection at site, antibiotic regimen and vitamin supplements. Use Mederma on wound after drainage bag removed to prevent scarring. Make sure Pt. comfortable and positioned correctly while sitting or at rest, as to relieve pressure on wound site. Follow up with exercise regimen to strengthen sore muscles/ chart results.
