The day-to-day responsibility for wound management is a role
usually undertaken by nurses. It includes assessing the wound,
selecting an appropriate treatment, and evaluating the patients'
progress. In order to do this effectively the nurse needs to
understand the healing process, recognize the factors which may
delay wound healing, understand how wound healing can be optimized,
know how to recognize complications if they arise and know how to
treat them.
This text, specifically written for community nurses, including
practice nurses, provides a picture of wound healing for both acute
and chronic wounds that may be encountered in a community setting.
An overview of the function of the skin and phases of wound healing
are examined prior to looking at the relationship between wound
healing and the patients' health and lifestyle.
The reference is written in a question-and-answer format, and
includes relevant case studies.
