Abstract:
This study investigates the unique challenges of wound care among the unhoused population, focusing on assessment, treatment, and documentation strategies in low-resource settings. The research underscores the prevalence of trauma, chronic illnesses, and environmental exposures that complicate wound management. The paper illustrates the diverse and complex nature of wounds encountered in this population through detailed case studies, providing practical insights for health care providers. The findings highlight the necessity of resource management and innovative approaches to address the health care needs of this vulnerable group.
