This article reports the experience of providing medical nursing care to a patient suffering from anorexia nervosa. The care was provided from June 29(superscript th) 2004 to July 9(superscript th) 2004. The diagnosis of anorexia nervosa was established from the clinical nursing, with evaluation on the basis of Gorden's criteria. The main nursing problems were altered nutrition and nutrition falling short of the body's demands, bizarre body image, sleep disturbance, and exertional intolerance. The focus in nursing is to co-operate with the patient to establish the goal of being healthy and to strengthen the patients’ cognition of the disease and ability to take care of him or herself. In such ways we achieve both the integrated and the individualized goals of nursing care.
