The following explains a nursing experience with a patient with opportunistic infections resulting from acquired immune deficiency syndrome. This study investigated a man who was diagnosed with human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV) positive when blood donation. Because this patient did not medically control the virus, the patient was admitted to the hospital because of an opportunistic infection of pneumocystis jerovecii pneumonia. The author cared for the patient from May 2, 2013 to May 27, 2013. During the admission, the author used Gordon's 11 functional health assessment tools to evaluate the patient and found that the patient had the following health issues: gas exchange impairment, oral mucosal changes, anxiety, and participation in high risk sexual activity. During the nursing process, the author used an interview and observation to establish a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship and encouraged the patient to express his feelings. The patient was then persuaded to accept his diagnosis and use HIV medications. This was a successful nursing experience that can be a helpful reference for clinical nurses. |
