Nursing Experience of Auricular Point Sticking Combined with Chinese Herbal Application in Treating a Case of Pneumonia
Pneumonia is a highly prevalent respiratory infectious disease in clinical practice. Conventional Western treatments often face challenges such as poor patient compliance and adverse reactions. Traditional Chinese external therapies, characterized by simplicity and minimal side effects, offer unique clinical value. This case report focuses on a pneumonia patient with phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome, adopting a combined regimen of auricular point sticking and Chinese herbal application as external therapies, alongside systematic integrative nursing interventions. The study aims to provide a practical nursing protocol for similar clinical cases. It elaborates on the patient’s clinical data, comprehensive nursing procedures (including assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation), and highlights core therapeutic interventions. By reviewing relevant literature, the mechanisms of these approaches are discussed, offering references for the clinical application of Chinese external therapies in pneumonia management.
