Epidermolysis bullosa: a nursing perspective

Caring for patients affected with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) can be one of the biggest challenges a dermatology nurse can face. Being familiar with EB and its associated complications is of utmost importance in caring for those individuals, otherwise patient care can be compromised. To provide the quality care that these individuals need, education is required for those affected and their family members as well as for health care providers involved in their care.
