Abstract
Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in young men and its prevalence is increasing all over
the world. The diagnosis of such a life-threatening disease at a relatively young age may have a considerable
devastating impact on numerous spheres of everyday functioning. Although testicular cancer
treatment is highly effective, in some cases only symptomatic treatment is possible, an integral part
of which is specialist nursing care. This study aimed to present the possibility of using the terminology
of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) in planning nursing care for a hospice
patient suffering from advanced testicular cancer. An analysis of medical records allowed for developing
a patient’s case and then formulating a plan of nursing care considering diagnoses concerning
biopsychosocial functioning and nursing intervention. Moreover, the study highlights typical problems
of patients in the period of dying as well as the role of a nurse in hospice care.
