Telehealth can be used to provide case management for patients like Mr. Yoder. A case manager can educate the patient, adjust their care plan based on progress, and ensure compliance with orders. This can be done through video chats or phone calls. Nursing intervention should focus on educating Mr. Yoder about medication, wound care, and bladder training to address incontinence. Another use for telehealth in Mr. Yoder's situation is a telehealth case manager. This is someone that can educate the patient, modify his care plan according to his progress, and monitor that the patient is being compliant with their orders. All of this can be done through video chats or phone calls to check on the patient to ensure that they are doing well. The nursing intervention should be to educate Mr. Yoder about the importance of taking his medications, how to clean his wound and change the bandages, as well as to potentially try to incorporate some bladder training into his routine to try and combat his incontinence.
