Nursing Wounds

Oland, Ingunn: Sår og sykepleie

Treating wounds is an absorbing task, and nurses' skills play a decisive part in securing the best outcome.
Good results demand, however, an overall understanding by nursing staff of the processes involved in the emergence and healing of lesions. This book provides the basic knowledge required in the area. In addition, it shows how wounds should be treated in practice, and sets out the basic principles when looking for the best strategy.
The book stresses the significance of nursing in wound treatment. Here, creativity, manual dexterity, clinical insight and aesthetic sense are important elements. Factors that impact on the relationship between patient and medical staff are also addressed in this book, which is a guide to high quality wound treatment in practice, and to the principles that should guide treatment management.
