This paper describes a physical and mental nursing experience of a patient with pre-eclampsia caused by end-stage renal disease who had to switch from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis due to ineffective water control over a long period of time stemming from a humid working environment, thirst, and excessive liquid intake. The nursing care period was from July 23, 2012 to October 22, 2012. The author adopted Roy’s adaptation model to evaluate the data collected from observations, interviews, physical examinations and chart reading. The three nursing care issues identified including fluid overload, changes in health maintenance, and difficulties in adjustment. During the nursing care process, the author established a positive therapeutic relationship with the patient. Proactive care, support, acceptance, and empathy techniques were adopted to encourage the patient to express her opinions and worries, followed by teaming up with the patient and the family to set up nursing strategies personalized to the patient’s condition. Correct information on self-care of arteriovenous fistula and effective water intake control was also provided. After the patient was given assistance with physically and mentally adjusting from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis, she was able to come to terms with the change, start planning for a new life with her family and make efforts to improve her quality of life. |
