Abstract
Objective: To develop the nursing process for an adult patient with severe vancomycin red man admitted to a Critical Patient Unit of a Chilean public hospital. Case Presentation: This case report focuses on an adult patient diagnosed with Red Man Syndrome induced by vancomycin and hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit. The patient had a history of chronic renal failure and a prior mild adverse reaction to the medication. The nursing process was applied, using Virginia Henderson's need theory as an assessment framework. Taxonomy II of the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International (NANDA-I) and Linda Carpenito's Bifocal Clinical Practice Model were used for care planning. Discussion: Nurses play a pivotal role in the preparation and administration of medications. The nursing process is an effective tool for delivering care, preventing medication errors, and mitigating their potential consequences for patients. Conclusions: Implementing the nursing process in patients with Red Man Syndrome underscores the critical role of nurses in enhancing care quality, improving patient outcomes, and guiding care delivery. Additionally, it contributes to strengthening post-care quality of life.
