  • Title: Chronic wound assessment.
    Author: Bates-Jensen BM.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 1999 Dec; 34(4):799-845, v. PubMed ID: 10523437.
    Abstract:
    Chronic wounds are a drain on health care resources, and as such, continue to challenge health care providers to define and create more effective intervention strategies. Wound assessment is the foundation for maintaining and evaluating a therapeutic plan of care. Without adequate baseline wound assessment and valid interpretation of the assessment data, the plan of care for the wound may be inappropriate or ineffective. This article discusses comprehensive assessment of the total patient as well as assessment of wound severity and wound status.
