Application of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Doctor-Nurse Collaborative Nursing Care for an Elderly Disabled and Cognitively Impaired Patient with Xiao Ke Disease (Diabetes Mellitus)
This article summarizes the application outcomes of an integrated Chinese and Western medicine doctor-nurse collaborative nursing care model in the management of an elderly disabled and cognitively impaired patient with Xiao Ke disease (diabetes mellitus). The case involved an 89-year-old disabled and cognitively impaired elderly patient with diabetes. Guided by the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapeutic principles of replenishing qi, nourishing yin, resolving phlegm, and removing blood stasis, in conjunction with treatments for hypoglycemia management, antihypertensive therapy, and nutritional support in Western medicine, a doctor-nurse collaborative nursing workflow encompassing assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation was executed. Targeted integrated Chinese and Western medicine nursing interventions were implemented addressing core issues including respiratory tract management, nutritional support, skin care, catheter safety, and prevention of complications. Following 25 days of meticulous treatment and nursing care, the patient demonstrated smooth sputum expectoration, improved nutritional status, progressive healing of pressure ulcer wounds, stable catheter fixation, and no occurrence of serious complications such as infection, aspiration, or asphyxia. The symptoms of the underlying disease were effectively controlled.
