    Uploaded by

    Afia Tawiah
    The nursing care plan summarizes the risk of infection for a patient undergoing hemodialysis treatment. The plan assesses the patient's vascular access site for signs of infection like redness, swelling or tenderness. Interventions include avoiding contamination of the access site using aseptic technique, monitoring temperature for fever or chills, and administering drugs like heparin or antibiotics to prevent infection or treat it promptly if signs appear. The goal is for the patient to be free of infection during and after the 8-hour nursing intervention period.
