This article described the nursing experience of using the interactive care model (ICM) to improve an 85-year-old COPD patient who was not compliant with the medical instruction. The author provided care from April 19, 2019 to May 1, 2019. By using Gordon’s 11-item functional health pattern assessment and collecting data by observation, companionship, listening, physical assessment, and so on, the following main problems in nursing were identified: (1) non-compliance and lack of motivation, which were associated with the caregiver’s insufficient care ability; (2) fluid volume excess, which was associated with reduced cardiac output, resulting in fluid retention; and (3) breathing pattern (ineffective), which was associated with weak respiratory function and failure to effectively clear sputum. Considering the characteristics of an elderly patient, the author used an interactive care model as the framework to provide relevant nursing activities, including the bonus point game, the bicycle training in bed, a record of intake & output by pictures, the digital card to learn chest percussion skill, and video learning combining repeatedly teach-back. Finally, the patient was discharged and returned home. This article suggests the use of interactive care model as the framework to provide nursing activities for elderly patients with chronic illnesses, which may help patients and their family understand and comply with care instructions. The nursing experience herein may serve as a reference for nursing personnel to care for similar patients in the future and to reduce readmission rates of patients with chronic illnesses. |
