they lack the knowledge of effective treatments. In other words, along with patient education, diabetic foot team members and nurses as a key member of them must be trained. The main goal of it is to increase staff awareness of the diabetic foot ulcer risks and improve their skills in examination and treatment of diabetic foot. Nurses' role in care Examination and screening Peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease and infection are three major factors for diabetic foot ulcer that can lead to gangrene and amputation. However, peripheral neuropathy is solely responsible for more than 80% of foot ulcers in diabetic patients. This not only is important for neurological examination as the first criter- ion for screening patients at risk for foot ulcers , but also is indirectly emphasized on nurse's role in perform ing a diabetic foot examination with monofilament and collaboration with other diabetic foot team members. Nurses who specialize in foot care are involved in the early stages of care and treatment. Nurses' role i diabetic foot care includes foot examination, wound dressing, also encouraged patients and families to appropriate care and follow-up visits regularly. The primary goal of screening is early detection of dia- betic foot problems, identifying those at risk and plan- ning to reduce the risk of ulcers.
