NURSING CARE PLAN

Nursing Diagnosis/Focus: Risk for infection related to increased environmental exposure invasive procedure
Scientific Analysis: Wounds involving injury to soft tissue can vary from minor tears to severe crushing injuries. The decision to suture a
wound depends on the nature of the wound time since the injury was sustained the degree of contamination.

However, reduced WBC levels
may result from severe
immunosuppression and viral

medications such as
corticosteroids increases risk of
insulin resistance. Tight glucose
control is required to reduce risk
of deep wound infections during
