This article explores the nursing experience of a patient with scalding burn injuries over 20% of the total body surface area. He was unable to be weaned from a ventilator because of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and tracheotomy. The period of nursing was from September 5, 2013, to November 1, 2013. Data were collected by means of direct nursing, participant observation, and interviews. Gordon's 11 functional health patterns were used for evaluation, and the patient's health issues, such as being unable to wean from a ventilator, were found to be caused by a lack of respiratory muscle power. He also suffered from anxiety brought about by worry of insufficient oxygenation and decreased body movement and muscle power. We used various techniques revolving around listening, empathy, and acceptance to design care activities for the patient. Finally, we helped the patient to wean from the ventilator and transfer to a general ward.
