randomize control trial to evaluate the efficacy of using zinc oxide versus moist exposed wound ointment in treatment of second stage pressure ulcer.
In this study the subject will be randomized using electronic randomization 1:1 ratio. The randomization list was generated electronically through R using the Random Allocation Rule. The data will be collected using Assessment sheet of patient with second stage pressure ulcer tool. Patients will equally be allocated into 2 groups randomly. The zinc oxide group will receive topical zinc oxide twice every 12 hours daily and patients in the MEBO group will receive topical MEBO ointment twice every 12 daily. Patient will be examined daily till complete healing for the pressure ulcer and maximum one month. The Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) will be used to evaluate wound healing. It is a validated wound assessment tool which is used in many healthcare settings for wound assessment

COMPLETEDWound healing
Wound healing will be assessed by using Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) daily for both treatments. (BWAT) consists of 13 items to evaluate wound size, type and depth, Each item is graded on a scale of 1 to 5, where a score of 1 indicates progress toward healing while a score of 5 indicates the absence of healing or wound deterioration. Cumulative BWAT scores vary from 13 to 65
Time frame: 30 days
Recovery time
The duration of treatment will be record at the assessment sheet so Recovery time will be determined from this sheet.
Time frame: 30 days
