Wound Care at End of Life, 2nd edition

Quality wound care in hospice is a challenge. As patients decline, advanced disease can compromise the body's largest organ – the skin. Good wound care is essential to promoting comfort and dignity. The aim of this guide is to provide a quick treatment lookup tool, a training guide to address palliative wound care basics, and to assist learners in developing a comprehensive plan of care.
