Wound Care Fundamentals - Part 1 - 1.5 CEs Credits

A GREAT Textbook for Foot Care Nurses!

Art & Science of Nursing Foot Care
A Clinical Resource for Nurses
The FIRST multi-authored, peer-reviewed textbook, and is currently the #1 textbook.

The Art and Science of Foot Care: A Clinical Resource for Nurses - authored by Cindy Lazenby RN is a much needed reference text for foot care nurses.

Each chapter has exercises and assignments that reinforce the content. Many key content areas for provision of nursing foot care are covered such as anatomy of the lower leg; foot and nail conditions; infection control; foot and ankle conditioning; footwear and orthotics; foot care and diabetes; and wound care. There are many illustrations and color pictures of foot and nail conditions throughout the text. The glossary is comprehensive and is a clear reference found at the end of the book. It is highlighted in light green, which makes it easy to find. The book concludes with appendices that include resources such as assessment tools.

There is a chapter dedicated to career opportunities in foot care and another chapter to nursing foot care practice with exercises related to mentorship, suppliers, and instruments. Another unique and interesting aspect of this text is inclusion of “Peer Perspectives”. This feature provides personal practice experiences from experienced foot health providers that relate to the adjacent content.
