Wound management continues to be one of the areas of clinical practice where nurses are continuing to lead the way forward. The care of patients/clients with wounds continues to be demanding on time and resources with more frail elderly, more patients withcompromised immune systems, a quicker throughput of patients, and an increase in resistant organisms. This book will continue to enable the nurse practitioner to identify optimum management for patients with wounds. This new edition will continue to be written in a highly readable style, and will continue to be a practical, research-based guide. All the contents will be updated for currency and continuing clinical application. In addition, experts in particular areas of practice have been invited to writethe more specialist chapters, e.g. nutrition and wound healing, and dermatological aspects of skin care.
