Description
"Burn Care Therapy" provides a comprehensive analysis of the care and treatment of burns. Beginning with the Physiologic Response to Cutaneous Burn Injury and ending with Burn Prevention, the book is divided into 21 chapters that chronologically follow the care provided throughout the burn continuum. Authored by burn experts in their areas of specialty, a collaborative approach is used. Nursing care is presented through each phase of care while integrating medical management. The text is heavily illustrated and a four-colour insert is included to accurately showcase the stages of burn care and healing. A quick reference guide highlighting common nursing and medical burn care facts and figures is provided free with the purchase of the book.
