Product Description
Using a multidisciplinary approach, this all-inclusive resource provides clinicians with a strong knowledge base for understanding the complete spectrum of wound care, including the structure of the skin, its functions, types of skin damage, physiology of wound healing, and general principles of wound management. Seven new chapters cover Principles of Practice Development; Skin Care Needs of the Obese Patient; Foot and Nail Care; Facilitating Adaptation; Support Surfaces; Devices and Technology in Wound Care; and Reimbursement and Billing. Recent advances in disease etiology, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed in appropriate chapters and each chapter opens with a list of learning objectives and closes with review questions. * Authored and contributed by respected experts in wound care management members of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) and Wound Healing Society (WHS). * Risk assessment scales are included to assist with determining a patients risk for developing a wound. * Assessment tools are provided to assist the clinician with wound evaluation, care, and treatment. * Patient compliance and guidance on how to identify and resolve issues of non-compliance are discussed in the new Facilitating Adaptation chapter. * The multidisciplinary approach to wound care management is discussed in a single chapter and applied throughout the text to demonstrate how this approach works and why it is critical to successful patient outcomes. * A wound care product formulary lists wound care products by category, usage guidelines (indications and precautions), and helpful hints is included to facilitate outcomes measurement and quality improvement.

This is an excellent, thorough book on wounds. As a wound nurse, I highly recommend this book if you want to learn about wounds, acute and chronic.
THE book for the CWCN exam February 23, 2009

When I was preparing for my CWCN exam I kept looking for the book that would be most helpful. This was back when the 2nd edition of this book was out. I read a review where someone said this was the most helpful book for the exam. And they were so right! It remains so today. This is the book you need to prepare for the CWCN exam. You will highlight almost the whole book while you are studying. It really is the best. Using this book, along with periodicals and a review course (which can frequently be purchased as a CD from the WOCN conference) will get you through. I got a score equivalent to a 92% on my CWCN exam and also found the book to give me a comprehensive understanding of wound care. Not just what to do, but the reasons and AP (anatomy and physiology) behind it. It is a traditional "textbook" type of book so some of it is hard going. But don't skip over anything because every bit of it is useful.

This is the third edition of this book, and continues to be a "must have" for anyone involved in wound care. It has been updated with the most current information on basics as well as newer treatment modalities.
