ABSTRACT
It is described a case study of a self-care receptor with aortic valve double lesion, secondary to bivalve aorta, theoretically sustained by Dorothea Orem’s self-care deficit model, what allow us to visualize the theoretical-methodological link between nursery discipline and professional practice. The variables in this study are the universal self-care requisites of development and health deviation, identifying their deficits and abilities of self-care, by methodologically applying the attention process in nursery. The study embraces three moments: 1) the process of nursery intervention in the preparative period, 2) the process of nursery intervention in the postoperative period, 3) the process of nursery intervention at discharge. At every moment, the self-care requisites were assessed, the abilities and deficits of self-care were determined, the agency of nursery was activated and the care was designed, without taking the specific pathology as the interest focus but the human responses presented when facing some health deviation, such as the ones altering not only the human body but the whole person.
