No other book shows how to manage wounds like this expert, all-inclusive resource! Acute & Chronic Wounds, 5th Edition provides the latest diagnostic and treatment guidelines to help novice to expert clinicians provide evidence-based quality care for patients with wounds. Unlike any other resource, this textbook presents an interprofessional approach to maintaining skin integrity and managing the numerous types of skin damage including topics that range from the physiology of wound healing, general principles of wound management, vulnerable patient populations, management of percutaneous tubes, and specific care instructions to program development. Not only does this bestselling text provide the foundation and evidence to guide a wound care program, it continues to provide excellent preparation for all wound certification exams.

    • A comprehensive approach to the care of patients with acute and chronic wounds guides students and health care providers to design, deliver and evaluate quality skin and wound care in a systematic fashion; the comprehensive approach includes the latest advances in diagnosis, differentiation of wound types, nutrition, prevention, treatment, and pharmacology.
    • Self-assessment questions and answers in each chapter help you assess your knowledge and prepare for all wound certification exams.
    • Checklists offer a concise, easy-to-read summary of the steps needed to achieve the best patient care outcomes.
    • Risk assessment scales help in determining a patient's risk for developing a wound, and wound classification tools identify the proper terminology to be used in documentation.
    • Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter focus your study on the most important content. 
    • Principles for practice development boost outcomes and productivity in agencies and institutions, home care, acute care, long-term care, and long-term acute care settings.
    • NEW coverage includes the latest guidelines from WOCN, AAWC, NPUAP, EPUAP, and PPPIA, and the American College of Physicians.
    • New sections cover the prevention and management of biofilm, the new skin tear classification system, MASD and MARCI, CTP terminology and classification scheme, and integration of the Health Belief Model.
    • NEW! Additional full-color photographs show the differential diagnosis of types of skin damage, management of fistulas, and NPWT procedures.
    • NEW! Clinical Consult features help in applying concepts to clinical practice, showing students and health care professionals how to assess, manage, and document real-life patient and staff encounters using the ADPIE framework.
