Comprehensive Wound Management, Third Edition is back with a timely update providing a comprehensive overview of wounds---from etiology to intervention.

Featuring more than 300 full-color images, photos, tables, and graphs to aid students in recognizing different types of wounds when performing examination and providing interventions, Comprehensive Wound Management, Third Edition goes beyond the call of duty of a traditional textbook. The book breaks down each of the common wound types, neuropathic, pressure, and vascular, into individual chapters that may be utilized for a holistic approach to learning or as stand-alone reading assignments.

Comprehensive Wound Management, Third Edition also covers classes of interventions, plan of care, documentation, and other administrative concerns such as reimbursement and regulations that must be considered in real-life practice of wound management. A major emphasis is placed on teaching how to perform interventions instead of simply mentioning them in context.

What's new to the Third Edition:

• Updated terminology and other changes recently instituted by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel
• Up-to-date information regarding reimbursement and regulations
• Boxes with summaries of performing examinations and interventions
• Short-answer questions at the end of each chapter

Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom.

Comprehensive Wound Management, Third Edition proves to be as invaluable a text as its previous editions and remains a must-have resource for physical therapy students and clinicians, certified wound specialists, rehabilitation professionals, and any health care provider who is managing the treatment of wounds.
