Created by a team of interdisciplinary professionals, Wound Care Essentials: Practice Principles, 2e, is a comprehensive yet concise handbook which discusses all aspects of wound care from quality of life issues to legal and regulatory aspects to skin integrity. It describes wound healing, wound assessment, and treatment options available for all wounds from the simple to the complex, including sickle cell wounds.

Rating: - Wound Care Essentials --- Excellent Resource Guide
This is an excellent and up-to-date resource book for anyone interested in wound care evidence based practice. Starting with the list of "Contributors and consultants" who provided content. This is a list of "who's who" in wound care practice. Next I find the chapters well designed with many "practice points" identified. Each chapter ends with a "Show What You Know" section of questions and answers. I have found the references to be extensive and inclusive of recent peer-reviewed publications. ... Read More
Rating:  - Good
This book incluedes a large amount of very useful knowledge; however, it is not extemely easy to read. There are great charts and assessment forms within the book that are useful. Content is good.

Rating: - Foundational text for student or veteran NURSE
I am a 30 year veteran of nursing working in a major metropolitan hospital. I work in Cardiac ICU and am a Skin Care Resource Nurse as well. In 30 years I have not found a better single source text on wound care anywhere. This is a foundational text for both the inquisitive beginner or the conscientious veteran! It is germane and salient with current BEST PRACTICE. If you are a nurse - you need one! If you are a nurse manager - you need one for your unit! What you are taught about wound care in ... Read More
