Although no anomalies were detected at birth, redness appeared in the scrotal area 15 days later. Due to the initial failure to establish the correct diagnosis, the infant received inappropriate treatment, which led to impaired skin integrity and various complications. After the correct diagnosis was confirmed, a nursing care plan was developed and implemented using Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns Model, with nursing diagnoses formulated according to NANDA-I. The care plan focused on areas such as health perception, skin condition, nutrition, cognitive awareness, and coping with stress. The care process continued until the child reached the age of nine, and the patient’s current status was evaluated. Throughout the process, the family received education and psychological support, and complications were successfully prevented. This case highlights the importance of a holistic approach in nursing care that addresses not only physical needs but also emotional and social aspects. It also emphasizes the critical role of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment in preventing complications. </p>}, number={28}
