This paper described the nursing care experience for a patient with malignant parotid gland, period of care ran from October 7(superscript th) to December 28(superscript th), 2008. The author used Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns, discovered that during hospitalization, the patient's problems were: chronic pain, damage of oral mucosal, damage of skin integrity, and body image disturbance. The author's nursing care focus was on the patient's pain relief, prevention of neck wound infection, and simultaneously employed caring, listening, empathy and acceptance to let cases are able to accept the changes of the body structure and function. The author also provided supportive care and adaptation to the disease, to increase the patient's confidence and quality of life, and to successfully complete the treatment. The author expected that through sharing of this nursing care experience, it could provide nurses with a better understanding of the needs of these patients, and as a future reference on clinical care.
