WE get a lot of stasis ulcers with Unna boots. Contact the MD or clinic
where they put them on. Also, this resident will need follow up appts.
The local surgeon who does them here usually sees the resident approx
every 10-14 days. If they get soiled we only reinforce them.

Hi ,
I have a new admission that has a Unna boot on her RLE. Day 5
and
noone has seen what is under them, H&P only says being treated for non
healing Ulcers as result of long standing PVD.
What do you all suggest to do in section M??
