The patient, a 65-year-old male, presented with wounds on his arms and legs caused by mechanical factors like shearing forces, as evidenced by destruction of the epidermis. His long and dirty fingernails, body odor, and flaky skin also indicated poor hygiene likely due to inability to care for himself in his dirty environment. The nursing care plan involved teaching the patient proper wound care and hygienic measures to improve skin integrity and self-care abilities through lifestyle changes like maintaining short, clean nails. The expected outcomes were timely wound healing, ability to care for himself, and maintenance of proper hygiene.
