The nurse needs to assess the patient's readiness and willingness for any procedure before intervening. After determining the patient's readiness for the dressing change, the nurse gathers needed supplies. The nurse establishes goals and outcomes before intervening. Before entering the patient's room, the nurse needs to ask another staff member to help if necessary.
