The nurse should carry a plan of care in the client as the hair of the client is thinning and the skin on the client’s forehead is getting irritated because of the client’s disorder. The highest priority of plan of care to the client is being able to set limits on the behavior of the client, In order to prevent further harm from occurring to the client as well as towards other people.
