Abstract
Chronic lower-extremity wounds are becoming increasingly prevalent. Effective treatment requires that nurses maintain their knowledge of wounds and wound care and that they apply thorough documentation practices. This quality improvement project leverages testing and education to determine whether a formal education program impacts nurse knowledge and documentation efficacy.
