Nursing Sensitive Indicators Nurse sensitive indicators included in this case are Mr. J’s use of restraints, complications of pressure ulcers, and patient satisfaction. Had the nurse who was caring for Mr. J been aware about the risks of pressure ulcer development with the use of restraints, the beginning stage of a pressure ulcer could have been prevented. Better RN assessment of Mr. J’s restraints, repositioning Mr. J every two hours and a thorough skin assessment should be done at every shift. The NA should be instructed to notify RN if they see anything out of the ordinary with patients, such as the redness to the lower spine of Mr. J. The nursing staff assigned to Mr. J will need additional training about restraints as far as appropriate use of restraints and how to care for a patient who is restrained.
After telling the lady at the front desk my symptoms, I waited to be called. While waiting for my name to be called, I tried diagnosing myself and thought I must have a urinary tract infection.

For an open fracture: The wound should first be covered with a clean and non-fluffy pad or sterile dressing. Then, carefully build up padding on top and around the dressing, making sure not to press on the bone that’s poking out of the skin.

Within this fiction novel there are probably many other cases that occur such as one’s exactly like Thomas’s.
