Title: If You Want to Keep Your License, Don't Buy This Book
Review: The concept of this book is good, however,it contains outdated and erroneous information. For example, it lists Decubitus Ulcer orders that are dangerous and are no longer practiced. First of all, the term is now referred to as "Pressure Ulcer" and the use of sheepskins, eggcrate mattresses and heat lamps are contraindicated in the treatment of pressure ulcers. In fact, the AHCPR guidelines (N15) clearly warn against the use of such measures for the treatment of pressure ulcers and the exact opposite is true-to keep the wound moist and not to let it dry out (which will inhibit healing). The prescriber could be setting him/herself up for litigation.
