Feedback:
In order to prevent infection to the pin site, the nurse should avoid applying ointment to pin sites unless prescribed because it reduces moisture at the site and occludes drainage. The nurse should gently remove crusted secretions because it helps in removing debris that supports the growth of microorganisms. The nurse should teach the client not to touch the pin sites in order to prevent the transmission of pathogens. The nurse should cleanse the skin at the pin sites moving outward in a circular manner to prevent microorganisms from moving toward the areas of open skin.
