Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is one of the primary treatments for maintaining the life of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Peritonitis is one of the most common and serious clinical complications. This case report is based on a study from the nursing experience of a new peritoneal dialysis patient who was facing physical, psychological, and social difficulties. Gordon's 11 items on life functions were used to asses this patient's needs. This patient had the following problems: pain, infection, excess body fluid, change of nutritional status, anxiety, hopelessness, and lack of knowledge of self-care of peritoneal dialysis. Nursing care focused on these problems. Subsequently, the patient had an obvious improvement in peritonitis. Continuous and comprehensive nursing care is the best standard of care for patients suffering from ESRD. |
