title: Case Study: Community Nursing Care Plan for a Man With Functional and Psychosocial Problems Following a Stroke.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The study aims to use the standardized nursing process to assist a middle-aged man with functional and psychosocial problems following a stroke.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data were obtained from interviews with the patient during primary care nurse consultations, electronic health record reviews, and reports from other professionals. To build the care plan, we used available scientific evidence, and we also considered a nurse-patient agreement.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We used clinical reasoning with NANDA-I classification, the Nursing Outcomes Classification, and the Nursing Interventions Classification to select nursing diagnoses, patient outcomes, and nursing interventions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Psychosocial problems complicate the management of a patient with functional consequences after a stroke. This fact has high impact on people who are going through this process.
