Lower extremity wound care requires a multidisciplinary approach involving a number of different health care professionals in order to achieve optimum patient care. Nurses and podiatrists, in particular, are frequently involved in the assessment and management of lower extremity wounds, often working in partnership.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lower Extremity Wounds: A problem-based learning approach is the first wound care book that has been written as a joint venture by experienced nurses and podiatrists, all with expert knowledge in wound care. It highlights the importance of multi-professional collaboration to encourage the crossing and dismantling of professional boundaries, to increase understanding of each other's roles, and ultimately to ensure that the patient receives the best available evidence-based interventions during their health care journey.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Taking a problem-based learning approach, each of the ten chapters highlights best practice in the management of wounds by type, discusses clinical guidelines and current evidence, and links this theory to a clinical scenario thus bridging the theory to practice gap. Numerous full-colour illustrations are used throughout the book to visually enhance the reader's learning.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Aimed at both students and practitioners, this book is essential reading for anyone involved in lower extremity wound care.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword (David Gray).  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction (Karen Ousey and Caroline McIntosh).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Need for a Multiprofessional Approach in Wound Care (Caroline McIntosh and Karen Ousey).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Physiology of Wound Healing (Karen Ousey and Caroline McIntosh).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Skin Changes in the At-Risk Limb (Caroline McIntosh and Kimberley Martin).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Infected Wounds (Nicoletta Frescos and Tabatha Rando).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Leg Ulcers (Adrienne Taylor).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Surgical Wounds (Jacqui Fletcher).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Pressure Ulcers (Karen Ousey and Caroline McIntosh).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Diabetic Foot Ulcers (Caroline McIntosh and Veronica Newton).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Foot Ulceration in Rheumatoid Arthritis (Deborah Turner, Jill Firth and Heidi Davys).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Nail Surgery Wounds (Caroline McIntosh and Steve Hancox).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEditor and Author Biographies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20\u0026amp;%20ancillary%20services%20%5BMQ%5D%22\"\u003eMQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52511051579672,"sku":"9780470059081","price":45.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470059081.jpg?v=1786580198","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/lower-extremity-wounds-a-problem-based-approach-paperback-softback-9780470059081","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
