The document discusses a patient at high risk for infection due to impaired skin integrity from prolonged bed rest and immobility. The nursing interventions include establishing a therapeutic relationship, monitoring vital signs and the patient's general condition, turning the patient every two hours to prevent pressure ulcers, encouraging oral hydration and exercise, and teaching the patient and their relatives about proper hand washing and signs of infection. The goal is for the patient to avoid skin breakages and identify ways to reduce infection risk after nursing interventions.
