Popis:	There is a lot of literature about selecting a primary dressing for a wound. However, not much is made available on the selection of a secondary dressing, which is just as important, as it allows the primary dressing to remain in place. This article looks at selecting a secondary dressing that is appropriate for a patient, considering the patient's mobility or immobility, where the wound is located, how exudate can cause dressings to become detached, controlling a wound's odour, selecting a secondary dressing that will not damage a patient's skin and how nurses can keep themselves up-to-date with dressings.
