This article is about the care experience of a 51-year-old solitary male who due to suffering from heart failure and pulmonary edema was living in an intensive care unit. The period of nursing care was from January 14 to February 01, 2018. The author collected relevant data through open-ended discussions, observations, and physical assessments, and conducted a comprehensive assessment and analysis at the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual levels. The case was found to have the health problems of fluid volume excess, activity intolerance, and dysfunctional family processes. In the care process, listening and active care were used to encourage the case to speak about his feelings and understand the main causes of his heart failure. Subsequently, specific fluid restriction measures were provided, diet control and exercise were incorporated into his daily life, and the case’s skill in heart failure self-care was improved to enhance his self-care ability after returning home. The case had left home when he was a juvenile, leading to dysfunctional family processes. Through group discussions and holding timely family meetings, the family was guided to participate in the companionship and care process, achieving a model of wellness for the whole person and the whole family, and helping the case's quality of life return to normal as soon as possible.
