Grade II ankle sprains are more common in Latin America, especially in young people, especially between 21 and 30 years old, as they are an active and sporty group. The objective of this work is to develop a nursing care plan applied to a patient with a grade II ankle sprain, using the NANDA, NOC, NIC taxonomy; based on the 14 needs of Virginia Henderson, to provide nursing care and enhance the activity of the muscles affected after the trauma, managing to satisfy the affected needs in the patient with this pathology. The methodology of this work was descriptive and analytical, through books, magazines and existing scientific articles in the field of health.
