A client with a Braden Scale score of 9 is at high risk for skin breakdown and requires moderate to maximum assistance to prevent further breakdown.Family members who care for clients at home may experience a disruption in family routines and added stress.The nurse should assess the wife's feelings and provide support for coping with changes.Asking about the client's toileting practices,prevention of pediculosis,and sleeping arrangements do not provide information about the caregiver's support and coping mechanisms and ability to continue to care for her husband.
