This paper described the nursing experience of caring a 61-year-old female with endometrial cancer and having lung metastases, committed suicide by taking the glufosinate herbicide. The duration of care was from October 14 to November 4, 2018. Data was collected by observation, physical assessment, talk with family, and chart review. The patient's health problems were identified, including ineffective tissue perfusion / lung, oral mucosa injury, and anticipation of grief by conducting holistic assessment. Due to endotracheal tube placement during care, we used bundle care to prevent patient from induced ventilator-associated pneumonia. The use of low-pressure oral suction and homemade gauze tongue depressor absorbed blood in the oral cavity, reduced oral mucosal injury, and improved multiple oral ulcers. Through the family meeting, the care team discussed the issues of tranquility, relief, and death with the family, listens to the family's ideas, assisted the family making medical decision, and accompanied the patient and family through the end-of-life care process.
