Nursing care period was from June 5th to June 14th in 2014.

The major health problems of the patient included anxiety at the preoperative phase, potential hazards during the intraoperative phase, and acute pain in the postoperative phase. Nursing care interventions included providing useful messages and supportive care throughout preoperative phase to alleviate anxiety; giving full compensatory interventions to prevent the hazards during the intraoperative phase; providing non-pharmacological interventions and pharmacological treatments for reducing pain in postoperative phase; and continuing making phone calls to support the patient after discharging.
