"MasterMinding Wounds is organized into five parts, each integral to wound care, yet comprehensive enough to stand alone: I. Setting the stage (for wound care) ; II. Evaluation of wounds ; III. The strategic management of problem wounds ; IV. Evaluation and management of the "end-stage" wound ; V. Prevention of new and recurrent wounds. The special features of this text include the use of a Master Algorithm to integrate and logically transition information, as well as a user friendly "Power of 10" scoring tool to objectively quantify wound seriousness, guide treatment, measure progress, predict potential for wound development, and assess patient function and motivation. The appendix includes: - Wound topics from A to Z with text references to supplement discussion questions at the end of each chapter - Copies of the Master Algorithm , scoring, assessments, and data recording systems - Listing of and comments about wound care guidelines/
