Nursing Care Plan: Infection & Pain Management

The nursing care plan addresses a patient with risk of infection from a recent surgical incision. Over 8 hours, the objectives are for the patient to identify and demonstrate interventions to prevent infection such as handwashing and proper hygiene, and show no signs of infection. Over 2 days, the objectives are for the patient to continue showing no signs of infection and properly cleanse the incision site. The plan involves dependent, independent, and collaborative nursing interventions and evaluations of goals.
