Osteomyelitis Nursing Care Plan

Priority interventions for osteomyelitis are to administer pain medication, administer antibiotics to control the infection, provide wound care, and monitor for complications like abscess formation or sepsis.

Short-term goals include reducing pain, controlling the spread of infection, and promoting bone tissue recovery and wound healing within a few days to weeks of starting treatment.

Interventions include administering IV or oral antibiotics, providing appropriate wound care, monitoring for complications, promoting mobility, and educating the patient about lifestyle changes and medication adherence.
