Wound Care at Home: A Guide for Families and Caregivers (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781665787857)

Caring for wounds after hospital or nursing home discharge can be overwhelming. You might doubt yourself, asking am I doing it right? How do I know if there's a problem? If so, when should I worry? I'm not an expert; where can I find medical information written in everyday language? You're not alone in questioning yourself, but know that you can do wound care at home, even without medical training. This guide tackles all of that and more! Wound Care at Home is a thoughtful and deeply practical guide for first-time caregivers. Dr. Janet Mackenzie arms readers with crucial knowledge, important resources, and encouragement for taking up the duties of wound care at home. It's packed with tips and tricks and step-by-step instructions written by a physician expert with decades in the field. "We simply take it for granted that patients know how to change a dressing when in fact, they find it a terrifying and daunting process which we never explain. I think this will be an incredibly valuable resource. Caroline Fife, MD Professor of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine Chief Medical Officer, Intellicure
