This report described the nursing experience of applying Roy's adaptation theory to care a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The caring period was between November 26th 2016 and January 7th 2017. Data collection was performed through direct caregiving, observation, interviews, physical assessment, and chart review. The major health problems identified included ineffective breathing pattern, imbalanced nutrition (less than body requirements), and powerlessness. Through nursing care interventions, the author provided lung rehabilitation training to improve shortness of breath. According to the patient's preference, we provided more frequent and smaller meals with and high calorie and high protein to maintain nutrition needs. By direct- caring, listening, and accompany, we established trust with the patient. By discussing care plans with the patient's family members, we encouraged family members express their supports to help the patient interact with visitors and develop his self-esteem. The caring goals were to decrease the risk of readmission and promote his quality of life. This nursing experience emphasized the importance of self-care and family participation and provided nursing staff with a reference for caring similar patient in the future. |
