What should i do?

Abstract

Psychosocial support and empathy are a priority intervention in patients with complications of chronic diseases. The primary care nurse has a privileged position to improve the quality of life of those people, who even based on an environment of trust, can achieve healthy lifestyles in the patient. Mr. J.J. is a 61-year-old polypharmaceutical and polypathological patient who, after two previous amputations of two left lower limbs, presents a poorly perforating plantar ulcer at the base of the fifth metatarsal of said foot. After having dealt with this situation, a new amputation has inevitably taken place, which has caused a conflict of decisions. Thanks to the novelties in the use of tools for nursing assessment, a care plan was carried out applying a standardized language through the NANDA-I, NOC and NIC taxonomy, with evidence-based intervention.
