Clients with diminished sensory perception can easily experience a burn injury when bath water is too hot.Instead of checking the temperature of the water by feeling it,they should use a thermometer.Examining the feet daily does not prevent injury,although daily foot examinations are important to find problems so they can be addressed.Rotating insulin and wearing white socks also will not prevent injury.
