Question:
Important risk factors to consider with regard to delayed or impaired wound healing are advanced age, poor nutritional status (alcoholism, obesity, lack of proper protein, carbohydrates and nutrients), lifestyle choices (cigarette smoking, poor diet, etc.), medications (anti-neoplastic, corticosteroids, etc.), and diseases and disorders such as diabetes, circulatory and respiratory problems must all be taken into consideration when considering risk for delayed and/or impaired wound healing. Sun exposure, while not considered safe in excessive amounts for the skin, typically is not a risk factor for poor healing.
