Aim:In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the care needs of an elderly woman hospitalized in the orthopedic service due to an intertrochentic femur fracture caused by a fall according to Faye Abdellah's 21 Nursing Problems Theory and to plan appropriate interventions for these needs. Method: The data of the study were collected between 16.04.2023-20.04.2023 in the orthopedic service of the state hospital in Nicosia, Cyprus.
