Appropriate for both practicing clinicians and students, this resource takes a holistic approach to treatment, with an emphasis on the patient -- not the wound. It begins by covering anatomy and adverse effects, then provides an overview of examination, intervention, and details specific wound types. Features: FREE CD-ROM includes full-color images Chapter-beginning key terms and chapter objectives highlight chapter content Numerous tables, figures and photographs reinforce concepts Checkpoint questions throughout each chapter reinforce comprehension Chapter-ending review questions test understanding Case studies turn concepts into real-world situations
