Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present an evidenced based rationale for lymphoedema compression bandaging one aspect of treatment for a patient with complex lower limb lymphoedema. The current health care climate requires treatment decisions to be transparent based on the best available evidence. The challenge faced by community nurses is to formulate treatment plans which incorporate the patients’ preferences and best utilise limited resources provided by clinical environments. The article appraises research in order to formulate a suitable treatment plan and provides discussion and reflection regarding the challenges faced by the nursing profession in achieving evidence based practice. Evidence based practice is beneficial in formulating patient centred and cost effective treatment plans, developing competence is not straightforward, however clinical guidelines can provide much needed guidance.
