you explain to Elisapeta about the length of time her wound might take to heal?
“Chronic wounds usually heal fast with the right dressing. Just make sure you come back to
get your dressings changed regularly"

precise time frame for integumentary healing”
“You don‟t need to worry about that. It will heal when it heals, and we will just keep dressing
it"
"Wounds on the lower leg can take a long time to heal because the skin is thin, gravity
reduces blood flow, and because of other health issues, such as your diabetes"
