I am a member of the Az State Board of Nursing Scope of Practice Committee and we are trying to develop an Advisory Opinion for diabetic foot care. What are your recommendations?

The term "Diabetic Foot Care" overlaps other conditions or illness with similar signs / symptoms / presentations & potential complications, because of this I prefer the term, "High Risk Foot Care". Minimum credentialling level, advananced training requirements and limited scope after meeting requirements. Standard criteria and developing state approved Foot Programs would help to raise levels of care and accountability. This should infer a non-delagatable task to those with lesser training.

I encourage preparation with the knowledge, skill and appropriate tools to safely accomplish the task before assuming the liability associated with high risk footcare.

Hi Patricia, WOCNCB hosts an annual program, local colleges also offer foot care modules. Basic areas should include A&P, Diabetes, Foot Pathologies, Wound Care, Best Practice and Legalities. Thanks
