    After analysing the scenario, I have identified six goals, three of which are immediate and the other three are time critical but not as crucial as the most immediate. The first priority is that Janet (the service user), was found in a bed soaked with urine, the reason for this is that her catheter came out during the night, and her husband (Bob) wouldnt use the hoist to change her sheets and wash her. I feel this to be of immediate priority, as Janet will not only be uncomfortable, but it will have a negative impact on her skin integrity. This adds to the risk factors already contributed to Janets skin integrity being compromised. Other risk factors for poor skin integrity include inadequate oral nutrition, dehydration, lack of sensory perception, decreased mobility or medical conditions that affect circulation. (Hart 2013)…

    It is very much important to measure the length, width, and depth of the wound once in every 24 hours. It is important to assess for presence of odor, signs of excessive wound drainage, and number of gauzes saturated (Potter & Perry, 2013, p. 1204) 2. A head-to-toe skin assessment is done per institutional policy on a daily basis. At the most recent assessment of Mrs. Stein's skin, redness was noted over the sacral area; on direct examination, a small area of denuded tissue was noted. The area was assessed and was found to have minimal depth and a red, moist base.…

They looked at patient’s elbows, back and their heels and they documented their findings. While the nurse was documenting, she also let me see that if a patient’s Braden score is <18 that they would contact a nutritionist if the patient did not already have one.…

    It is important to measure the wound every day during the assessment so that he or she can chart healing progress. It is also important for the nurse to refer the patient to a dietician to ensure that they are getting the adequate nutrition that is required for healing. Monitoring the patient’s intake and output should be a priority because the nurse needs to be sure that the patient is staying well hydrated and eats the foods that the dietician recommends. Daily weights are also a useful tool for monitoring nutritional status. Seeing a dramatic decrease in weight can indicate problems with nutrition, which in turn indicates problems with…
