Risk For Infection

The patient is at risk for infection due to poor hygiene and an existing wound. The nurse's interventions include establishing rapport, teaching hand washing and signs of infection, demonstrating proper wound care, and administering medications. The short-term objective is for the patient to gain knowledge of infection control after 4 hours, and the long-term objective is for increased comfort and a lower pain scale after 3 weeks through continued nursing care.
