Nursing Experience of a Patient with Extensive Contact Dermatitis Complicated by Infection
This article summarizes the nursing management of a patient with extensive contact dermatitis (30% body surface area) complicated by infection, presenting with severe erythema, erosion, exudation, intense pruritus, and pain. A comprehensive nursing assessment guided the intervention plan, adopting a multidisciplinary approach that integrated conventional Western medicine with traditional Chinese techniques (wrist-ankle acupuncture and auricular acupressure) to alleviate pain and pruritus. Coordinated care included wound dressing, nutritional support, hyperkalemia correction, precise nosocomial infection control, emotional intervention, and health education. After 17 days of hospitalization, the affected area significantly reduced to <5% with crust formation, symptom resolution, and effective infection control.
