Abstract

This article focuses on domiciliary patient care and was elaborated using the Virginia Henderson model. The patient subject of the care, after undergoing a detailed and structured assessment on the part of the nurse of the Margory and Gordon functional health patterns, presented the following diagnoses: stress syndrome caused by the return home, deterioration of physical mobility and deterioration of skin integrity. The nursing care plan to be applied included the family systematically. After two months, the diagnosis of deterioration of skin integrity has been resolved, as well as an improvement in the other two diagnoses mentioned.
