[Prader-Willi syndrome. Presentation of a case].

We report the case of a term infant of 39+1, born by emergency cesarean section due to suspected fetal distress with an Apgar test 4/6/8 and axial hypotonia with weak reflexes. After 52 days of hospitalization an individualized care plan was developed and applied based on Marjory Gordon's functional patterns model and NANDA domains. We used the NANDA diagnoses, interventions according to nursing interventions classification (NIC), and the expected results as classified by nursing outcomes (NOC). Through the care plan, the identified diagnoses and potential complications were resolved. Progress was slow but favorable, stimulating sucking and achieving a good breastfeeding latch, with an appropriate weight gain, decreased muscle stiffness, and increased response to stimuli.
