This study details the nursing management of a 74-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the stable phase. Presenting with multiple comorbidities, the patient received integrated Chinese-Western nursing care. Western interventions included oxygen therapy, bronchodilation, expectoration management, and corresponding nursing support. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modalities comprised acupoint application therapy, auricular-plaster therapy, and acupoint massage. The patient was also instructed in Baduanjin breathing qigong exercises. The comprehensive nursing process encompassed thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, meticulous planning, active implementation, and outcome evaluation. Consequently, the patient demonstrated significant symptomatic improvement and achieved favorable therapeutic outcomes. Follow-up after discharge indicated stable disease control. This case underscores the clinical value of integrated Chinese-Western nursing combined with Baduanjin breathing qigong in managing stable-phase COPD, offering valuable insights for clinical practice.
