Pressure ulcers continue to pose a challenge. Prophylaxis and therapy are described in a practical manner in the book. Topics covered include wound assessment, wound documentation, and phase- and need-based care for pressure ulcers, as well as special subjects such as nutrition, skin care, pain management, and pressure ulcers at the end of life. Theoretical knowledge is linked with practical experience. The strong practical relevance makes the subject matter accessible and understandable. Colorful illustrations assist in classification.
