Original abstract
This article describes the nursing experience of a patient with multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P). The writer collected subjective and objective information using observation, interviews, and nursing care during the time period May 22 to June 3, 2006. A holistic nursing assessment and nursing problems were established as body image disturbance, risk for aspiration, constipation and family support, self-care deficit and risk for fall. Through individual nursing intervention and family support, the patient accommodated himself to the physical activities and mental situation. We hope that this complete nursing experience can in future serve as a reference for other nurses in the MSA-P field as they assist similar patients.
