Book Description

ISBN-10: 1582552746 | ISBN-13: 978-1582552743 | Publication Date: September 1, 2006

This comprehensive yet concise wound care handbook was written by two outstanding wound care specialists, with contributions from more than 15 well-respected experts in the field. All aspects of wound care are covered: wound healing, wound assessment, and treatment options for all types of wounds. There is an emphasis on nutrition and quality of life for patients with chronic wounds, and a full chapter is devoted to pain associated with wounds and wound care. The legal and regulatory aspects associated with skin integrity are explored. The unusual wounds that result from malignant ulcers, vasculitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and calciphylaxis are covered, as well as the wound care needs of special population groups such as older adults, children, spinal cord injury patients, and HIV-AIDS patients. More than 100 illustrations, checklists, tables, recurring icons, and flowcharts provide easy access to essential information, and an 16-page full-color insert illustrates the healing process and types of wounds. Supportive research and references follow each chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Foundational text for student or veteran NURSE, April 24, 2007

F. Schriever "Thankful RN" (Portland, OR, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wound Care Essentials: Practice Principles (Paperback)

I am a 30 year veteran of nursing working in a major metropolitan hospital. I work in Cardiac ICU and am a Skin Care Resource Nurse as well. In 30 years I have not found a better single source text on wound care anywhere. This is a foundational text for both the inquisitive beginner or the conscientious veteran! It is germane and salient with current BEST PRACTICE. If you are a nurse - you need one! If you are a nurse manager - you need one for your unit! What you are taught about wound care in nursing school, or medical school for that matter, is limited to surgical wounds. Information about other wounds you could fit into a thimble. I just authored a policy on skin tears at my hospital and many of my references for that research and meta-analysis pointed to these two authors, their work and expertise. I am buying a copy for a colleague, an MD.
