The nursing period was from August 31 to September 9, 2011. Data was collected by reviewing medical records and interview and then analyzed by Gordon's eleven functional health patterns assessment tool. Four health problems were found: impaired verbal communication, functional dysphagia, anxiety and impaired physical mobility. After discussing with language therapist, the author and the patient's family made a cartoon book to help improve patient's basic communication skills. Through understanding the patient's eating habits, the author collaborated with nutritionist to educate the patient's family about diet preparation and dysphagia rehabilitation The author tried to establish mutual trust with the patient, with patience and caring spirit. Besides, the patient was encouraged to regain self-confidence through support system to reduce her anxiety. The author, physical therapist, and the patient's family created a daily schedule of rehabilitation for the patient to help her actively participate in rehabilitation program.
