Increasing protein intake is important for tissue repair and healing. It provides the body with the necessary amino acids to build and repair tissues. Encouraging bedrest or providing high-fat foods would not necessarily improve tissue integrity. Reminding the client to avoid taking a multivitamin may not be relevant unless the client has a specific vitamin deficiency that is contributing to the slow healing.
