NCP 3

The patient is at risk for impaired skin integrity due to prolonged bed rest and altered circulation resulting from immobility. Key risk factors include immobility, which leads to pressure, shear, and friction on the skin. Nursing interventions include establishing rapport, positioning the patient comfortably, taking vital signs, assessing skin condition and ability to move, encouraging changes in position and ambulation, and providing adequate clothing/covers to protect the skin and promote healing. The goal is to prevent skin breakdown and maintain skin integrity through reducing pressure, preventing vasoconstriction, and promoting circulation and nutrition.
