This article described a nursing care of a first time stroke patient suffering from dysphagia, weak limbs, and dysarthria. From December 3 to 16, 2015, the author adopted Gordon's 11 functional health pattern assessment to collect and analyze the data of the patient with the strategies of interview, observation, and physical assessment. The confirmed major physical difficulties were impaired swallowing, physical mobility and verbal communication, as well as deficient knowledge, and disturbed body image. By conducting multi-disciplinary cooperation, the author established a caring plan with the patient and the family. First, the author instructed the patient in oral motor exercise, skills of swallowing and eating, balance and limb activity training, as well as articulation skill. Second, the author looked into the reason of the patient not taking medications on time and the psychological impact when he faces the illness, so that the author could understand how the patient felt and what were needed, and encouraged the patient participate in self-care plan. Furthermore, the author provided the patient with relevant information to change his understanding of hypertension. With the support and cooperation from the family, the author had promoted the patient's motive for rehabilitation, and the patient began to re-confront the impact of stroke. The experience can be a reference for similar nursing cares in the future.
