Using a multidisciplinary approach, this all-inclusive resource provides clinicians with a strong knowledge base for understanding the

and general principles of wound management. Seven new chapters cover Principles of Practice Development; Skin Care Needs of the Obese
Patient; Foot and Nail Care; Facilitating Adaptation; Support Surfaces; Devices and Technology in Wound Care; and Reimbursement and Billing.
Recent advances in disease etiology, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed in appropriate chapters and each chapter opens with a list
