This article describes a nursing experience of caring for a pediatric patient with severe complications secondary to enteritis in the ICU. The nursing period was from June 15 to 18, 2008. Through observation, interview, and direct care, the author assessed the patient's physical, psychological, developmental, familial, and social needs. The identified problems include impaired tissue perfusion, pain, hyperthermia, and the caregiver's role tension. To prevent deterioration, the author provided intensive care in accordance with the disease progression and managed the patient's symptoms to increase comfort. The patient's mother received disease-related information, as well. The author listened with empathy and clarified the patient's mother's concerns to minimize her self-reproof and self-guilt. This nursing experience can be used as a reference for nurses caring for patients with the same diagnosis.
