Norma James, a 65-year-old widow who lives alone, presents at the geriatric nursing clinic at the local senior center with a wound on the sole of her foot about the size of a quarter. The wound is sore, with yellowish drainage. The skin around the wound is red and inflamed. Ms. James says that she noticed the sore about 3 weeks ago. She stated that according to her “Google search” she realized that honey can heal wounds and she has been treating it with honey since, but thinks the honey seemed to make it worse. Ms. James says that her foot hurts when she walks on it. The nurse at the clinic smells cigarette smoke on Ms. James clothing. When asked, Ms. James reports that she smokes about a pack a day. In response to a question from the nurse, Ms. James says that she has diabetes and high blood pressure. Ms. James is not able to say what medicines she takes but estimates that she takes “about four different ones.”
