    The nurse assessed a patient with an open wound and diagnosed a risk for infection. The short-term plan was for the patient to be less at risk for infection after 8 hours of nursing intervention. The long-term plan was for the patient to be able to do their own wound care and know how to prevent infection with good wound healing after 3 days. The nurse performed daily wound care, monitored for infection risk factors and signs of infection, and gave daily medications to clean the wound and avoid infection. After 8 hours the patient was less at risk for infection and more knowledgeable about wound care and infection prevention.
