Book 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 apparently simple act of changing a dressing epitomizes the caring natures of nursing – the healing touch of a nurse in reaching out to a wounded person.”
Sue Templeton in the Preface to this book
Wound management no longer relies on tradition and superstition. Modern wound management is based on scientific principles and evidence-based research. The focus of modern wound management has evolved from simply surviving wounding to the rapid restoration of form and function by overcoming barriers to healing.
