Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common congenital heart defect during the neonatal period that can cause hemodynamic and respiratory alterations requiring specialized nursing care. This report describes the care experience of a neonate with PDA, in which Callista Roy's Adaptation Model was applied. The case took place in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital General de Acapulco, Mexico. A descriptive clinical case study was conducted, in which a comprehensive assessment was performed to formulate NANDA diagnoses, plan NIC interventions, and define NOC outcomes. The consistent application of this theoretical-taxonomic framework enabled care focused on preserving hemodynamic and respiratory stability, preventing complications, and supporting the adaptation of both the neonate and the family. Overall, integrating nursing taxonomies and advanced practice interventions from the perspective of a nursing theoretical model facilitated the formulation of clear, well-founded clinical judgment. This made it possible to provide specific, timely, and high-quality patient care.
