    The nurse or the unit can prioritize in assessing the muscle weakness or skin status. Under this, the n nurse must assess muscle strength, flaccidity, and contraction. The nurse can aid the patient by positioning him properly to prevent ulcers. The nurse should check for urinary function and report to the doctor right away if infection is present.
