Mr. Snape, a 73 year old widower, has been living alone for the past 5 months. He has been adjusting to help himself since his wife would usually be of great assistance. Mr. Snape has fallen back on his care routine and unfortunately developed a skin ulcer on his upper left sacral area. He explained that it started off quite small but due to the lack of knowledge on how to treat an ulcer, it began to get worse and became painful.

His vital signs were as follows: BP- 130/80 Temp- 36.9 degrees celsius RBS- 123 mg/dl.
