Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Part of the Incredibly Easy! series, this book discusses the fundamentals of wound care, including skin anatomy and physiology, causes of wounds, and wound healing. Wound classification and assessment are covered, along with detailed instruction in wound care procedures. Special focus is placed upon pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers, as well as acute wounds. Two chapters concentrate on wound care products and adjunctive therapies and the final chapter discusses legal risks and reimbursement issues. Special features of the book include chapter-by-chapter summaries of key points and a glossary of important terms. Eight pages of full color illustrations demonstrate the three stages of normal wound healing, abnormal wound healing, and different kinds of wounds. Ideal for both student nurses and practicing nurse professionals, Wound Care Made Incredibly Easy! includes sections of handy mnemonic devices to aid in information retention, tips on dressing wounds, and patient education information.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 260-261) and index.
