Abstract

We hereby present the case of a 48-year-old male patient, with diagnosis of complicated diverticular disease, presenting recurrent postsurgical bleeding. Nursing evaluation was conducted within the setting of the Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Theory.  Basic determining factors were identified, as well as universal self-care requirements for development and health deviation. The study used the model from the Analysis of Current Status Outcomes (ACSO), and the taxonomy by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA); the care plan was prepared considering the expected outcomes and the nursing interventions also put forward by the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) and the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). The application of the ACSO model for the clinical rationale of Nursing allows to prioritize the altered self-care requirements of the patient, which facilitates the identification of the primary Nursing diagnosis, secondary diagnoses and risk diagnoses, and therefore, to plan the specific care in order to offer comprehensive patient care.
