ABSTRACT
The case-study theoretically based upon Viginia Henderson’s model (Virginia Henderson’s Need Theory) allows viewing the theoretical-practical relationship in infirmary discipline. This review includes, as the studied variables, the altered human needs in an adolescent presenting 22q11 deletion syndrome during the late post-operative period at cardiac surgery. According to the literature, the aforementioned syndrome is manifested by distinctive facial dysmorphism, intellectual deficit, and psychiatric alterations. This clinical data were identified through an assessment, which allowed to establish health condition, dependence causes, relation level, and a infirmary care plan directed to the patient’s recovery and integration into his/her social background.REFERENCES
