The latest information on wound care in a comprehensive yet portable resource
Written by the chair of the Education Committee of the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing Association, this is the first text on wound care to be both comprehensive in scope yet small enough to fit into a lab coat pocket. All of the latest information on wound care is now available at your fingertips.

The authors include assessment and evaluation principles, how to stage or classify any wound, and practical hints on wound measurement and wound care.
