Nursing care for patients with Kounis syndrome.

Kounis syndrome (KS) is defined as the occurrence of a coronary event secondary to a severe allergic reaction. This syndrome is described as poorly known, underdiagnosed and with a low prevalence whose aetiology is difficult to know due to the large number of causative agents. The objective is to create an individualized care plan for a patient with Kounis syndrome. The nursing assessment was performed on admission using Virginia Henderson's need theory. A care plan was developed following the NANDA-NOC-NIC taxonomy. After the planning and execution phase, the proposed activities were evaluated, thus verifying that the objectives had been achieved.
