This case study uses a case study method through nursing care steps starting from assessment, nursing diagnosis, intervention, implementation, evaluation to nursing documentation activities. The results of the assessment on the family on behalf of Mrs. K. S complained of pain in the left knee, weak body, swelling in the left knee. The nursing problems raised in these cases are disorders of comfort, pain, and physical mobility inhibitions. The evaluation found that the problem of pain discomfort disorder was partially resolved because the client had shown signs of controlled pain such as a relaxed face, Pain scale 1 (0-10) vital signs within normal limits: and for physical mobility impediments are partially resolved because the client says he can walk on his own even though he still feels a little pain.
