Objective:

To summarize the nursing experience and interventions for a neonate with congenital extensive skin defects of both lower extremities, focusing on outcomes and nursing strategies.

Key Findings:
  • The neonate's condition stabilized and improved after 21 days of systematic treatment and nursing care, with specific metrics on health improvements.
  • Good wound healing was observed at the 2-month follow-up, with details on the healing process.
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration was crucial for individualized treatment planning, highlighting specific roles.
Interpretation:

The case illustrates the effectiveness of tailored nursing interventions and MDT collaboration in managing complex congenital skin defects in neonates, suggesting broader implications for nursing practice.

Limitations:
  • Limited generalizability due to the single case study design, which may not reflect diverse patient populations.
  • Follow-up duration may not capture long-term outcomes, indicating a need for further research.
Conclusion:

This case provides a referenceable precision nursing model for managing neonates with congenital extensive skin defects, emphasizing the need for similar approaches in future cases.
