• "...presents integrated information on wound care/treatment and wound issues related to etiology. It is a well-rounded resource, discussing wound care healing in a realistic narrative. It is easy to read, combining the narratives of case studies with a bullet-point format. The color pictures appropriately support wound descriptions and etiology. This is a useful book that is easy to use to find relevant information. The color pictures clearly capture many types of wounds. With the expansion of its focus into palliative care and home care, this new edition is justified." - Katherine L. Aguilar, MHA, BS, RN, University of Missouri-Columbia, Doody's Review Service, Rating: 4 Stars!
