Maryam Mamou, RN, BSN, CWOCN, Content Expert for this course, selected this title and wrote the quizzes. She describes this text:
"This book deals with wounds across the continuum of care from pediatrics to the geriatric population and also includes special population areas such as bariatric patients and palliative wound care. It delivers state-of-the art wound care. It provides the knowledge that clinicians need to render safe and efficient care that will produce the best patient outcomes. This resource should be a part of every facility's education department, and it is an excellent text to prepare all clinicians in delivering competent wound care."
