The ACWS Infection Prevention Guide teaches patients and caregivers how to identify early infection — often before the wound looks worse.
This guide provides clear visuals (described through text), drainage interpretation, odor levels, temperature cues, and high-risk scenario protocols.

Includes:
• Colonization vs infection
• Normal vs abnormal wound appearance
• Early infection signs
• Systemic warning signs
• Drainage & odor interpretation
• High-risk patient categories
• Dressing timing rules
• When to call for help

This guide can prevent hospitalizations and provides life-saving clarity for home wound care.
