General Patient Care

During a procedure to clean and dress a small laceration, you notice that the patient complains of a burning sensation when the antiseptic is applied. What is the most effective sequence of actions that integrates patient comfort, wound care, and accurate documentation according to general patient care protocols?

The correct approach is to first pause the procedure to address the patient's discomfort. You should then reassess the wound and consult with the provider if needed, perform a test application (patch test) or switch to a diluted antiseptic as appropriate, and proceed using full aseptic technique. Finally, document the patient's reaction, the modification in technique, and the wound status in the EMR immediately to ensure continuity of care and legal compliance.
