Complex wound management: a case study.
Mr. G.'s situation was challenging, because it did not readily conform to the management techniques currently available and required consideration of psychosocial and other physical factors. To meet individual patient needs, nurses must be creative in finding solutions to unusual problems. By focusing on the short-term goals for wound management and the goals for family-centered home care as a guide to interventions, adaptations were made to fit this patient's needs.
