I was thinking about doing risk for infection for a pt that is post op a total hip replacement. The pt has HIV and type 2 diabetes which would make this a great diagnosis. BUT the pt's temp was 99.9 but went back down to98.2 within a couple of hrs. Her WBC was also elevated to 14.8 with the first 24 hrs post op but I was thinking this may be due to inflammation. Could I still do RISK FOR? Or would it be actual?
