Nursing Care According to Gordon's Functional Health Patterns Model: A Case Presentation of a Baby with Hydrops Fetalis and Meningomyelocele
Abstract
Objective: This study presents a rare and complex case of concurrent hydrops fetalis and meningomyelocele in an infant.
Methods: The patient was assessed using Gordon's functional health pattern model during the study conducted between April 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022. This model was employed to plan nursing care and provide guidance. It encompasses 11 functional patterns used to evaluate vital processes and daily life, specifically for babies with hydrops fetalis and meningomyelocele.
Results: The study highlights the challenges posed by the co-occurrence of two conditions, hydrops fetalis and meningomyelocele, for both patients and healthcare teams. Nurses employ this model to address the physical and emotional needs of patients and establish effective treatment plans.
Conclusion: This case presentation underscores the critical importance of nursing expertise and emotional support in the treatment and management of patients with rare diseases, emphasizing the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
