the physician.

Answer to Question 2

REEDA
The acronym REEDA indicates redness, edema, ecchymosis or bruising, discharge, and
approximation (the edges of the wound should be close). If redness is accompanied by pain
or tenderness, this may indicate infection. Edema may illustrate soft tissue damage and
delay wound healing. There should be no discharge. The edges of the wound should be
closely approximated as if held together by glue.
