Impaired Skin Integrity

The client has impaired skin integrity related to prolonged immobility, as evidenced by dry skin, disruption of the skin surface, and positive skin lesions. The goal is for the client to be able to participate in prevention measures and treatment after 2-3 hours of nursing interventions, which include inspecting the skin daily, keeping wounds clean and dry, using appropriate dressings, and encouraging early ambulation. The interventions are aimed at identifying areas to address, monitoring wound healing, assisting the body's natural repair process, and reducing risks associated with immobility.
