Many critically ill patients receive acute blood purification therapies such as continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This is pivotal in intensive care units. CRRT increases stress for patients because of the corresponding long restriction of patients’ activities. Therefore, we are trying to provide nursing care that consists of both alleviation of suffering and restoration of normalcy for patients’ early recovery. Nurses should assess patients with diseases and offer treatment from several perspectives, including physical, mental, and social aspects, as well as equipment care instructions. It is important for nursing care and patients’ recovery for nurses to try to explore and assess the meaning and the thought of patients in their backgrounds by listening to and accepting their ideas and feelings.
