Nursing Diagnosis

Objectives of Care

Nursing Interventions nterventions 1.) Reassess the characteristics of the wound, including color, size, drainage, and odor. these data provide information on the extent of damage. Color of tissue is an indication of tissue viability and oxygenation. Odor may arise from infection present in the wound; it may also arise from necrotic tissue. Wound drainage or exudates is a normal part of wound physiology and must be differentiated from pus, which is an indication of infection. Purulent drainage from the injured area is an indication of infection. 2.) Inspect the incision every shift using the REEDA (redness, edema, ecchymosis, discharge and approximation) method. frequent assessment can detect signs and symptoms of possible infection, complications. 3.)

9.) Suggest to the patient to change diaper, napkin, and other protective wear every four hours. to relieve moisture and prevent the proliferation of bacteria. 10.) Suggest to the patient to avoid strenuous activities. shear force or pressure may induce more damage to the skin. 11.) Help the patient to assume a comfortable position. to help reduce tension at the incision site by relieving pressure to it. 12.) Encourage diet that meets the nutritional needs. a high-protein, high-calorie diet may be needed to promote healing. 13.) Instruct the patient or watcher in proper care of wound (i.e. cleansing, dressing, and application of topical medications) teaching the proper care of the wound to the patient and watcher increases their ability to manage therapy independently. 14.)

Increased discomfort at the episiotomy or incision site d. Reddened or warm skin
