| Summary |
"Find everything you need to know about wounds and wound care wrapped up in one easy-to-use reference. Wound Care Made Incredibly Easy provides comprehensive coverage of: fundamentals - such as skin anatomy and physiology, assessment and monitoring - including the most commonly used tools, wound care procedures, from dressing to debridement, dozens of wound care products and therapies, and legal and documentation issues that could help keep you out of court."
