Abstract
 

Mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection is the surgical procedure of choice necessary for the treatment of breast cancer, and women are susceptible to develop upper limb edema known as lymphedema. Therefore, it becomes essential for nursing and given its importance, to provide educational support for the prevention of lymphedema, which is the main potential complication with serious repercussions on the quality of life of women. In the following clinical case, an initial assessment was obtained according to Dorothea Orem's General Theory of Self-Care Deficit, a care plan was executed using the North American Nursing Diagnoses Association taxonomy, Nursing Outcomes Classification, Nursing Interventions Classification, Educational support, the demands of therapeutic self-care were evaluated to determine whether or not a self-care deficit exists. The patient was followed up for 20 days and, when evaluating the results, it was determined that the patient increased her knowledge and the demands of therapeutic self-care, managing to satisfy the requirements of self-care thanks to the educational support of Nursing.
