First priority: medical assessment
After a dog or animal bite, the patient should receive prompt medical guidance. A doctor must decide whether rabies post-exposure vaccination, immunoglobulin, tetanus protection, antibiotics, suturing or other treatment is needed. The nurse’s home visit covers procedural cleaning and dressing support, not the vaccination decision or diagnosis.
Home dressing after the plan is clear
Once the treating clinician has given instructions, the nurse can help clean and cover the wound as directed. The family should keep the prescription, vaccination record and any hospital note available. The nurse communicates what was done and any visible change that should be reported to the doctor.
Fast contact and clear limits
The service is designed for quick communication in Kolkata, subject to availability and the patient’s safety. If bleeding will not stop, the wound is deep, the patient is very unwell or the bite involves the face, hand, eye or a child, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine home appointment.
What a home visit can include
- Cleaning and dressing support according to medical instructions
- Protection of the wound with appropriate prescribed materials
- A clear explanation to the family of the procedure completed
- Reminder to continue the doctor’s vaccination and follow-up plan
