AB  - This case report aims to describe the treatment and nursing care process of a newborn diagnosed with testicular hemangioma. 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.

N2  - Bu olgu sunumu, testiküler hemanjiyom tanısı alan bir yenidoğanın tedavi ve hemşirelik bakım sürecini tanımlamak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Doğumda herhangi bir anomali saptanmamış olmakla birlikte, doğumdan 15 gün sonra skrotal bölgede kızarıklık ortaya çıkmıştır. Başlangıçta doğru tanının konulamaması nedeniyle yenidoğana uygunsuz tedaviler uygulanmış, bu durum deri bütünlüğünün bozulmasına ve çeşitli komplikasyonların gelişmesine yol açmıştır. Doğru tanının doğrulanmasının ardından hemşirelik bakımı, Gordon’un Fonksiyonel Sağlık Örüntüleri Modeli temel alınarak ve NANDA-I hemşirelik tanıları doğrultusunda planlanmış ve uygulanmıştır. Uygulanan bakım planında sağlık algısı, cilt durumu, beslenme, bilişsel farkındalık ve stresle başa çıkma gibi alanlara odaklanılmıştır. Bakım süreci hastanın 9 yaşına kadar devam etmiş ve son durumu değerlendirilmiştir. Aileye bakım süreci boyunca eğitim ve psikolojik destek sağlanmış, komplikasyonlar önlenmiştir. Bu olgu, hemşirelik bakımının sadece fiziksel değil, duygusal ve sosyal ihtiyaçları da kapsayacak şekilde bütüncül olarak ele alınmasının önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, erken tanı ve doğru tedavinin komplikasyonları önlemede kritik rol oynadığı vurgulanmaktadır.
