R1 stated they tell me they will do it at the end of their shift, and they leave without changing the dressing. R1 stated several nurses tell R1 that they don't have time to change R1's dressing. R1's Physician Order dated 12/19/24 documents R1 has 29 sutures to the right front shin as a result of trauma at a doctor's appointment.
