INTRODUCTION

The case study that is to be presented features a patient who has a Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Uncotrolled; Non- healing wound.

I as a nursing student is involved in learning what type of nursing interventions that I will apply to this
type of patient. Beyond understanding the relevant health issue, this case study will also explore other
factors that can enhance my knowledge in the field of our nursing practice. This is also the primary
reason why I choose this case study because I know that it is highly beneficial aside from it is being
considered unique.

Included with the case study are the discussions of the anatomical parts, through physical assessment of
the patient, laboratory results and their corresponding findings. Added to this I also have a discussion of
