Objective: To report the experience of a final-year nursing student during an internship while providing care to a
military police officer with stasis dermatitis, highlighting the use of the Nursing Process (SAE) and Henderson’s Theory.
Method: Experience report conducted at the Hospital de Urgência de Teresina (HUT). Cutaneous changes were observed without pain or pruritus. A photograph was taken and sent to the supervising professor, a specialist in dermatology, who confirmed the initial clinical suspicion and recommended medical evaluation. Results: Scaling and hyperpigmentation were observed in the lower limbs. The Nursing Process guided skin assessment, prevention of complications, health education, and patient participation. Henderson’s Theory supported the identification of basic human needs related to the case. Conclusion: Systematized nursing care was essential for early identification, proper guidance, and preventive care, highlighting the role of nurses and students in comprehensive practice.
