Abstract

A holistic and functional nursing care plan for a postoperative gastric bypass patient is presented. Nursing care was guided by the nursing care process, which includes the stages of assessment, diagnosis, intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation. The assessment was conducted in a focused manner based on Marjory Gordon's functional health patterns, while nursing diagnoses, interventions, and expected outcomes were grounded in the NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC taxonomies, respectively. The study was carried out in the surgical unit of a public hospital in Lima, Peru. Three nursing diagnoses were identified, along with their corresponding indicators and interventions, aimed at wound care and monitoring, management of hyperglycemia, and the integration of techniques to improve sleep. Outcome evaluation, measured using a Likert scale, showed satisfactory progress across all indicators. It is concluded that multidisciplinary and multidimensional care is essential to ensure optimal recovery and prevent the development of complications.
