Br J Nurs. 2006;15(14):773-6. doi: 10.12968/bjon.2006.15.14.21581.

Abstract

This care study is based on the nursing assessment of a 26-year-old man (MT) who attends a local haemodialysis unit for treatment using Gordon's (1994) functional health patterns. There will be a discussion of this framework and the methods used to assess this patient including an exploration of one of the problem areas identified--that of non-compliance.
