Flip to pg. 32 of Wound Care Canada Spring 2016, for the article “The Role of a Dietitian in Wound Care” by Seasons Care Corporate RD, Andrea Illyas!
“Adequate nutrition and hydration also lower health-care costs because wound prevention is much less expensive than wound treatment. Further, expensive wound treatments are sometimes used unsuccessfully because of inadequate nutrition; however once nutrition and hydration deficits are rectified, the wound treatments are much more effective.”
