The priority nursing diagnosis for the client is Risk for infection. A white blood cell count within expected parameters demonstrates the goal has been met. Demonstrating home care and listing signs of infection are important for discharge, but teaching is not the priority. Pain control is also a good outcome, but again, not the priority.
