So as I've mentioned there is a client w/ a very large decubitous ulcer (wound) that requires a wound vac. It's been a while since I've worked with this type of wound but I still have a know the skill. There are particular days this new client gets wound treatment. Should I sign up in advance for January now for those days to further my skills/ experience or should I just be cautious and not jump the gun to plan in advance?

So I went to a client's home for a meet and greet. A nurse was already there covering the shift. Anyways the client has a wound vac that needed to be changed. Mind you I wasn't on the clock just there to meet the client. The nurse there said ," um do you know how to do a wound vac." I said , "yeah". Then she said ," um can you measure this wound for me. Can you cut the foam for me and do the wound". Basically, I helped measure it after that I said , " I measured now it's your job to do the rest". I watched as I was leaving and she didn't know what she was doing at all. If you don't do the wound vac correctly it will damage the patients good skin and the wound will not heal.

Should I report to my supervisor or will I seem like I'm just snitching on the job?

I feel like if you don't know the skill why lie and injure a patient. Let the supervisor know you can't do it.
