Abstract

Objective:  The present case study aims to identify effective nursing interventions in a patient diagnosed with Markis type II coronary ectasia and multiple comorbidities through the implementation of the Nursing Process (NP).  Methodology: A qualitative, descriptive, and analytical approach was employed, based on Marjory Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns. For the formulation of nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions, the NANDA, NOC, and NIC taxonomies were used. Priority was given to complications such as decreased cardiac output, ineffective breathing pattern, risk of aspiration, and electrolyte imbalance. The implemented interventions reflected clinically relevant improvements in the patient’s condition. Conclusion: It is concluded that the use of the Nursing Process facilitated organized, patient-centered care focused on the individual’s specific needs, promoting a progressive and personalized recovery. This case highlights the fundamental role of nursing in the follow-up, care, and comprehensive support of individuals with rare cardiovascular conditions and underscores the importance of developing care protocols adapted to local realities.
