Abstract
This case study demonstrates the challenges to achieve dignified life closure and a comfortable death for a middle-aged woman with terminal cancer and her family. Data were obtained from a patient known through the author's clinical experiences, personal family experiences, and published sources. The appropriate nursing diagnosis, patient outcomes, and nursing interventions were identified through the use of NANDA-International, the Nursing Outcomes Classification, and the Nursing Interventions Classification. This case study illustrates the appropriate nursing diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes pertinent to an individual with emotional distress at the end of life. Employing the NANDA-International standardized nursing diagnosis, the Nursing Interventions Classification and the Nursing Outcomes Classification provided the needed constructs for considering and improving a dying patient's care in a primary and home setting.
