Cut out the two hexagons below and poke a toothpick through their centres to make two spinning tops. Spin the wound type top to determine your wound of choice, then spin the numbered top. You need to come up with that number of risk factors or signs that would lead you towards a diagnosis for that wound type. For example, if you had “Arterial” and “3” you could list; Edges-Punched out appearance, History-Smoker, History-Diabetes. Try to use all of HEIDI and TIME to help you come up with the answers and try not to duplicate! Place your piece on the starting square, if you’re successful, move your piece the same number of spaces. In my case it would be “3” spaces.
