Abstract
The purpose of this case study was to describe a nursing experience with the application of Orem's self-care theory to care for a patient with Miller Fisher syndrome in the acute phase. The nursing period was from September 12^(th) to 19^(th), 2018, and the author collected data by observation, face-to-face interview, medical record review, and physical examination. The patient's nursing problems included impaired physical mobility, self-care deficit, ineffective breathing pattern and deficient knowledge. According to Orem's nursing system, the author provided nursing interventions including the wholly compensatory system, the partially compensatory system and supportive education system. The nursing interventions provided individual support to communicate with the patient about setting rehabilitation goals and improving self-care ability, physical ability and cognitive learning by discussion. This study presents this nursing experience so as to provide a reference in future clinical nursing care.
