This paper describes a nursing experience involving caring for an 87-year-old single veteran who lives alone and was sent to hospital by his neighbor following a fall. The patient suffered from lower extremity weakness and poor self-care and was worried about his future care, which resulted in him perceiving his predicament to be hopeless. Nursing care was provided from February 17 to February 26, 2015. Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns Assessment was applied in this nursing process. The following health problems were identified: self-care deficits relating to lower extremity weakness; risk for falls pertaining to lower extremity weakness, frailty, and history of falls; and perception of hopelessness regarding supporters and anxiety about life after discharge. The author communicated with doctors, a physical therapist, a case manager, and a veteran consultant to set the care goals for this patient based on his individual needs. The patient's muscle strength and sense of balance were improved through rehabilitation and practice. His confidence regarding self-care was enhanced by proving appropriate care. In particular, the patient's physical and psychological concerns have been resolved by providing information regarding the options for continuing care, which included intermediate and long-term care. During this care process, the patient's self-care ability and self-affirmation were increased.
