Nursing Experience of Traditional Chinese Medicine Oral Care for a Stroke Patient with Oral Ulceration
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a stroke patient with oral ulceration treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) oral care. To address risk factors for oral infection, a self-prepared TCM mouthwash containing peppermint, astragalus, borneol, licorice, and scutellaria was administered 3–4 times daily, combined with individualized nutritional support and pain management. After two weeks of intervention, the ulcers healed, pain was alleviated, serum albumin levels normalized, and anxiety/depression symptoms significantly improved. The integrated TCM-Western nursing approach effectively improved the patient's oral environment, eliminated halitosis, stabilized oral pH, and enhanced daily living quality. The results demonstrate that TCM oral care accelerates wound healing, improves nutritional status, and provides an effective intervention for oral complications in stroke patients.
