QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK:
Does your foot care nurse provide a risk assessment of your lower extremity? Is your nurse able to identify high risk conditions, such as arterial disease, venous insufficiency and neuropathy?
Did you know that according to the Center of Disease control that 50% of amputations can be prevented by wearing the proper foot wear! Is your nurse assessing your foot wear?
Only 10 nurses in MN have a certified foot care credential, including myself. Are your nurses board certified? While RNs who are not board ceftified possess basic entry-level skills, they may not have the specialized skills and experience to adequately provide expert care. (2008)
Are you receiving education for conditions you have in your lower extremity?
