RNAO BPG - Diabetic foot ulcers: Prevention, assessment and management, Third edition
This BPG replaces two RNAO BPGs: Reducing Foot Complications for People with Diabetes (7) published in 2007 and Assessment and Management of Foot Ulcers for People with Diabetes (8) published in 2013. These BPGs were merged because of the overlapping clinical concepts in each BPG.
The purpose of this third edition guideline is to provide nurses and members of the interprofessional team, persons at risk of or living with a Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) and their care partners with evidence-based recommendations on the prevention, assessment and management of DFUs.
