Wound Care: A Handbook for Community Nurses: 3 (Handbook For Community Nurses Series)

Brilliant book for nurses

I bought this book as I am a student nurse about to go out and work in the community. It is an excellent book with a clear explanation of the different types of wounds and their care. It is clearly laid out with chapters on the skin, types of wounds, wound assessment, wound cleansing and so much more - it pretty much covers all the questions I would ask about caring for a wound.

Just what i was looking for. Has good relavent information, easy to understand and is very useful. Helped alot with assignments. Helps with patient wound assessment.

it is ok.could be better..I am returning it as it looks like used..have not try on.

Excellent

I did not know what to expect when i received this book. I was pleasently surprised, what a well written informative book. It has easy to follow chapters and upto date information. I have worked on the commuity for 3 years and deal alot with wounds and leg ulcers. This is an ideal book to give anyone who is a beginner in wound care, it actually makes you evaluate the care you are giving and reinforces that not all wounds are the same. I will certainly put this in my office for the students that come through. Summary Well wriiten, easy to follow. informative an must for any nurse. Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very disappointed in this book. It was probably relevant when written but sadly is now out of date. It gives a decent basic cover of wound types and dressings. However no mention of new dressings such as manuka honey or silver. No mention of biofilm either. In addition I found the quality of the actual cover of the book to be very flimsy.

I bought this book hoping that it would be helpful and easy to understand as a student nurse. You will not be disappointed, I found it easy to understand and great for quick reference. I have used it in many assignments. You wont be disappointed.
