Wound Healing MNT

In this episode of the RD Exam Ready Podcast, Zak breaks down Wounds and Wound Healing MNT to help you feel confident tackling these topics on exam day. This episode focuses on the nutrition foundations behind wound healing — including pressure injuries, staging, and how nutrient needs change based on severity.

You’ll review the phases of wound healing, types of wounds, and how to identify and understand pressure injury stages. Zak connects this directly to Medical Nutrition Therapy by walking through calorie, protein, and fluid needs across each stage, along with the role nutrients play in supporting healing. He also ties in real clinical considerations like metabolic stress, malnutrition risk, and when supplementation becomes necessary — then wraps up with practice questions to help you apply what you learned.
