Question: The nurse is caring for a client who is 56 years old with a history of diabetes mellitus type II and had abdominal surgery 3 weeks prior. The nurse notes the client has a large abdominal wound with negative pressure wound therapy applied. The seal around the wound is intact, and a small amount of serosanguineous drainage is noted in the tubing. The client is moderately obese and smokes one pack of cigarettes per day. The client expresses frustration with their current condition and states, "I wish this thing would heal. I don't know how long it will take." The client is receiving antibiotic therapy to treat the infection in the wound bed. The nurse recognizes that there are several fast-food types of sacks in the client's trash can. When asked, the client states they have their family bring in food that "tastes better" than the hospital food. Identify the clients problem based on individual assessment and individual factors
