Description
At some time, all nurses can expect to manage a person with a wound and because they spend so much time with their patients, nurses have a special opportunity to provide modern, evidence-based wound care with a person-centred focus. The contributors to this book are nurses and other health professionals who are acknowledged experts in their various fields. This wealth of clinical experience has produced a practical informative text that is enhanced with illustrative case studies and explanatory diagrams and photographs. In keeping with the evidence-based nature of the text, the book concludes with a list of references and a comprehensive, cross-referenced index.
