[E] Important Note.—Dressings are everything applied to a wounded or sore surface. A compress is the dressing which is placed directly upon the wound. It is usually made of clean new gauze. A bandage is the dressing which holds the compress (or other dressings) in place.
Compresses are used to—
- 1. Hold medication in place.
- 2. Protect sore place.
- 3. Stop bleeding.
