Bone infection or osteomyelitis is most common in clients with an open fracture because skin integrity is lost and organisms gain access easily.The nurse will remind all those who come into contact with the client to use good handwashing and will observe the wound daily for signs of infection.The other clients do not have extra risk factors for infection.
