The most common type of injury following an earthquake is extremity injuries, which can result in multiple fractures. Appropriate orthopedic surgical interventions should be determined to maintain the physiological integrity of the patients. Additionally, the needs of earthquake survivors must be addressed in a comprehensive manner, ensuring that care is provided not only physiologically but also socially and psychologically. In this context, nursing care becomes critically important. It is essential for the provided care to be based on a standardized foundation to achieve the desired patient outcomes. The scientific basis for nursing care is grounded in the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, Nursing Interventions Classification, and Nursing Outcomes Classification taxonomy, which are utilized in many countries. In this case presentation, the nursing process for a migrant earthquake survivor with multiple fractures employed the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association diagnoses, Nursing Interventions Classification and Nursing Outcomes Classification systems. Accordingly, ten nursing diagnoses were established in the areas of nutrition, elimination and exchange, activity and rest, coping and stress tolerance, safety/protection, and comfort, along with 29 nursing interventions aimed at these diagnoses, resulting in improvements in these domains.
