英文摘要 |
A 38-year-old female stroke patient was admitted with right hemiparesis and dysarthria. After a series of laboratory tests, a diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis involving the left middle cerebral artery was confirmed. During care of this patient from June 25, 1999 to July 22, 1999, Roy's adaptation model was used to plan care which centered on five nursing problems: impaired tissue perfusion, physical immobility, self-care deficit, body image disturbance, and powerlessness. During nursing care, knowledge of Takayasu's arteritis and stroke was used to assist the patient to accept the fact a stroke had occurred and to gradually help her become independent in performing daily activities. The aim of this case report is to provide information that will improve professional clinical nursing care of patients with Takayasu's arteritis. |
