This article shares the nursing experience of a female breast cancer patient who suffered from physical, psychological, and spiritual issues stemmed from malignant fungating wound. The nursing care period was from March 17 to April 13, 2013. Data were collected through direct patient care, interviews, observation and physical assessment of the patient's health condition. Gordon 11 Functional Health Patterns was utilized to identify the patient's health concerns, such as disturbed body image, pain, malodor, low self-esteem, and fear of people contact. Seaweed dressing was used to absorb the discharge from the wound so that the patient could stay dry from seepage, which would also decrease the times of dressing change; tea-tree oil was applied, along with aromatherapy and an air cleaner, to decrease the effect of wound odor,; medications plus lymphatic massage, aromatherapy, and relaxation techniques were used to relieve patient of the wound pain. We built trust with the patient and her family by showing that we cared and through display of empathy. The presence of trust helped patient to stop feeling ＂caged in＂ or isolated, so patient could start building a sense of self-confidence. We hope our nursing experiences can be used as a reference for the care of patients with oral cancer, and thus promote the quality of patient care.
