Abstract

The aim of this study was to present postoperative nursing care according to the Marjory Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns Model, applying the Nursing Diagnosis NANDA - I Taxonomy II classification system in a patient who underwent simultaneous anterior resection, right hepatectomy and cholecystectomy for metastatic colorectal cancer. The study was conducted in a university hospital between July 2018 and October 2018. The patient was diagnosed as eight nursing diagnoses ineffective health maintenance, nausea, imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements, dysfunctional gastrointestinal motility, risk for activity intolerance, ineffective breathing pattern, bathing self-care deficit, disturbed sleep pattern. Appropriate nursing interventions were performed and the results of the care were evaluated. As a result, it was observed that the nursing care applied based on Gordon’s FSP model and NANDA’s nursing diagnostic system accelerated postoperative recovery.
