The nurse should assess the wound status to develop an appropriate plan for wound care. Patient concerns should also be addressed to provide patient-centered care. The nurse should also assess the patient's ability to perform care independently, including wound care and medication management. Assessing the living conditions of the patient is essential to ensure the patient's safety and overall well-being.
