Description

As the understanding of the wound management deepens, providers are challenged to keep current. Under the expert editorial leadership of Jayesh Shah, MD, MHA, FUHM, in partnership as co-editor with Catherine Milne, MSN, CWOCN-AP, the third edition of the Wound Care Certification Study Guide has undergone an extensive update. Previous editions already established its utility as the perfect study tool for any wound exam, and this edition continues the tradition. Updated evidence-based information in the areas of wound care, nutrition, lymphedema, pediatrics, vascular, physical therapy modalities, and plastic surgery have been written in an easy study format by the contributing authors well known in their respective fields. New chapters address special populations encountered in both practice and on wound certification exams-bariatric, geriatric, pediatric, and the palliative care patient. As in the previous editions, the Wound Care Certification Study Guide continues to provide self-assessment questions at the conclusion of each chapter to help readers identify areas needing further review.
