Answer:

The patient is at fault here.

It would help if the nurses and doctors who did the procedure wrote everything they did down so I could see what they did wrong.

Explanation:

The patient should not have been smoking after undergoing the surgery and should have cleaned their wound everyday as (Hopefully) instructed.

Hope this helps:

I think the nurse who takes care of the patient is at fault because she is supposed to take care of her and not let her get worse.

I also choose the nurse because the patient says that she's experiencing pain at the surgical site and the nurse provided the patient with wound care on the day the patient was in the ER

But if this is a trick question I would say the sister because she is the only other character in this scenario that doesn't have a backstory like the patient and the nurse and then the information that is missing would be the sister's backstory.

To find where I got the characters I put them in bold.

A 48 year old female patient has recently undergone surgery for a knee replacement.

The past  medical history of the patient includes Diabetes Type 2, a partial hysterectomy, asthmatic, and  Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Two weeks post-op the patient presents in the ER with an elevated  temperature, swelling, and redness in the surgical incision site.

The patient also says that she's  experiencing pain at the surgical site and chills.

Her sister accompanied her to the ER and said  that the patient has started back smoking cigarettes and only cleans the surgical site every couple  of days.

The nurse who took care of the patient in the recovery room the day of the surgery  provided the patient with wound care instructions and used aseptic technique, proper PPE, and  instructed the patient on wound care.

<3 Enjoy,

Investigate the influence of self-esteem and teenagers participating in risky behaviour​
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Teenagers are always trying to look like adults and act cool and all, like vaping and smoking, driving at high speeds, showing off there money and all to be popular, almost all of them are dare devils and want to show it off, that is why they would go out and party/drink all the time and get into other bad situations.

Now there are 2 sides of it, teenagers may be participating in good behavior and taking a risk at the same time. This shows there bravery, passion and how much support they have in thereselves/will-power.
