I need help with a care plan for a patient with CAD!
Pt had surgery, so she has a large chest incision, but it doing very very well. shes an older patient (over 80). She is already ambulating on her own, and doing great. I can't really think of where to start, because shes going home. I know shes at risk for falls of course, but I cant really think of something good to start out with. The only thing I really thought might be good is risk for infection since she has a large chest wound as well as a large incision on her lower leg. Any help??
