Summary

"Geared specifically to LPNs/LVNs, this quick-reference pocket guide covers wound care principles, wound care procedures and products, and wound prevention and assessment.

Specific types of wounds -- acute wounds, vascular wounds, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers -- are covered in consistently formatted chapters. Subsequent chapters focus on wound care products, wound care therapies, and legal issues."--Publisher description.
