This article described the nursing experience of applying care bundle in managing for a first time stroke patient with obesity. The nursing period was from June 17 to July 25, 2020. Gordon's 11 functional health patterns were conducted collecting data through observation, interview, and physical examination. The identified nursing problems included obesity, impaired physical mobility, and powerlessness. The author applied care bundle to enhance the effectiveness of weight reduction, including adopting a Mediterranean diet, designing an exercise program, and employing auricular acupressure based on available scientific evidence. Additionally, this individual was encouraged to proactively discuss the rehabilitation progression with healthcare professional, increasing the motivation for rehabilitation, and actually performing rehabilitation training to improve the muscle strength of the limbs. Further, using mindfulness and changing mindset to learn living with stroke sequelae and to improve powerlessness. We hope that this nursing experience will serve as a reference for nursing professional in caring for similar patients in the future. |
