Can the nurse take out stitches and change the dressing?
Generally speaking, stitches should be taken out by clinicians, and general dressing changes can also be done by nurses. Clinicians are generally required to be present when dressing changes, and doctors should look at the recovery of wounds, so dressing changes at this time should also be completed by nurses under the supervision of clinicians.
