He has little appetite and says he has been depressed since his wife died last year. While performing your assessment of Mr. Lee, you notice that a large dressing covers the right hip incision. You loosen the dressing and see the staples are intact at the incision site and there is minimal amount of serosanguineous drainage on the bandage. As you turn him in bed, you see a 9cm by 5cm reddened area on his coccyx and a 2cm by 3cm purple bruise-like area on his left heel.
