The nurse caring for a client with a large leg wound notes that the client's past medical history includes diabetes, chronic atr
ial fibrillation, asthma controlled by maintaninence medication, and neuropathy. which one has the greatest potential to negatively impact the healing of the client's wound?
I would say diabetes because when you're diabetic you have an elevated amount of glucose. Which causes the narrowing of blood vessels and stiffening in arteries and a decrease in the function of red blood cells. which would mean that white blood cells don't do their job, and fight infection. so with all of this, blood and oxygen flow to the wound are decreased. So the wound can not receive proper attention from the body because it doesn't have enough nutrients or oxygen to heal.
