This report aims to describe the experience of providing nursing care to an elderly patient who lived alone, was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time, and had undergone modified radical mastectomy. The care was provided between March 19th and 26th, 2019, and Gordon's Eleven Functional Health Patterns were employed as the assessment framework. Data were collected through physical assessment, observation, interviews, and direct care. After assessments and analyses, the author established the patient's main health conditions include: acute pain, potential risk of infection, body image disturbance, and anxiety. In response to these health conditions, the author developed a customized care plan for the patient. By building a fine nurse-patient relationship, the author teach the patient wound fixation and pain relief techniques to reduce the intensity of wound pain; keep the wound dry, strictly abide by aseptic techniques, and smoothly remove the wound drainage tube and remove sutures. The author consulted the physiotherapist to develop a post mastectomy arm rehabilitation plan according to the patient's age and conditions. The author patiently accompanies the patient throughout the rehabilitation activities and provided encouragement and praise when the patient reached the targets of rehabilitation. The patient was guided to express her feelings, taught relaxation skills, and encouraged to resume painting that the patient had found stress-relieving in the past, so as to alleviate body image disturbance and anxiety. The patient was recommended to apply, through the Department of Social Welfare for a home care attendant after discharge from the hospital that will assist her with daily housework. The nursing care experience could serve as a reference when caring for elderly patients living alone in the future.
