If you fall down and scrape your knee, or you get a cut on your finger, what would you do to heal the cut and to prevent infection. This would be your interventions. Your long term outcome would be what you would finally like to happen with your scraped knee or your cut. You would like it to heal.
For a patient with altered skin integrity the interventions should be whatever you or the nurse did to assist in healing the wound or did to prevent infection of the wound or did to prevent the wound from getting worse. Or the treatments and dressings etc.that was ordered for this patient.
