Proceso de atención de enfermería en ESTUDIO DE CASO DE OSTEOGÉNESIS IMPERFECTA marzo-agosto 2025

Abstract

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta is caused by a rare genetic disorder worldwide, mainly due to mutations in the genes that encode type I collagen. These alterations lead to abnormal collagen synthesis, which predisposes patients to bone fragility, recurrent fractures, and growth and developmental abnormalities. Objective: To develop the nursing care process in a case study of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Method: This is an observational case report of a 9-month-old male patient diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta at 5 months of gestation. Results: Through the assessment of Marjory Gordon’s functional health patterns, alterations related to growth, nutrition, mobility, and development were identified. Nursing diagnoses were established according to NANDA taxonomy, including: ineffective sucking and swallowing response, inadequate nutritional intake, delayed motor and child development, impaired physical mobility, risk of infection, risk of falls, and chronic pain. Based on these diagnoses, a care plan was developed using NANDA, NOC, and NIC taxonomies, aimed at improving the patient’s nutrition, mobility, safety, and comfort, thereby promoting comprehensive development. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the application of the Nursing Care Process, supported by standardized taxonomies, facilitates a comprehensive and humanized approach to patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, allowing the design of specific care interventions, prevention of complications, and strengthening of the family’s role to improve quality of life.
