In this article, we present the nursing experience of caring for a newly diagnosed advanced cholangiocarcinoma patient. Gordon's 11 functional health assessments were used to collect data during the nursing period from November 07, 2017 to November 21, 2017. The nursing problems identified included pain, malnutrition, and caregiver role strain. We also established a well-ordering nurse-patient relationship through active care, listening, and providing company. We collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to improve these nursing problems. We provided acupressure and mindfulness to ease pain. We also assessed the factors of malnutrition and provided individualized diet education to increase calories. A family conference was arranged to convey information about the patient's condition and poor prognosis to his other family members, which allowed his wife to share some of the pressure of caregiving. We guided the patient's wife to remove some of the pressure of caring for the patient and reconnect emotionally with the patient. (Tzu Chi Nursing Journal, 2020; 19:5, 121-130) |
