This article describes a nursing experience for a frail elderly woman with acute hypoglycemia. From December 9th to December 21st, 2020, a nursing assessment was conducted through physical examination, observation, medical record review and interviews. It was established that the patient had health problems including inadequate knowledge and awareness of diabetes mellitus, motor dysfunction, and potentially dangerous injury from falling. Registered nurses and dietitians worked together to provide health education guidance on individual blood glucose self-care and nutritional needs for the case and her caregiver, while the nurses and rehabilitation team provided early intervention to enable the patient to be discharged from the hospital smoothly with the case manager providing long-term care resources at home to care for discharge preparation services. Older adults often have frailty-related care needs after being hospitalized due to illness, so it is recommended that healthcare professionals focus on providing continuous care across multidisciplinary professional teams while actively formulating and implementing plans with caregivers to improve the quality of life of patients after returning home, thereby reducing readmissions.
