DiscussionCJ

 

Post a clinically relevant research question using the PICOT format.  How did you arrive at this topic and question?  Why is it important?  ( “what are the new and appropriate wound care methods?”  This question’s uniqueness is to develop an evidence-based practice supported with current knowledge about a proper and new way of wound care, treatment )
