Abstract
The focus of this best practice guideline is to support nurses as they help people with diabetes reduce their risk of foot complications. Specifically, this guideline assists nurses who are not specialists in diabetes care to:
- Conduct a risk assessment for foot ulcers
- Provide basic education for prevention of foot ulcers for all clients with diabetes
- Implement appropriate interventions when clients are assessed as higher risk for foot ulcers and/or amputations
