Zenker’s diverticulum, which is herniation of pharyngeal mucosa, typically occurs in the elderly population with dysphagia, regurgitation, halitosis, and malnutrition. Here we report one case of Zenker’s diverticulum and nursing care and diagnosis process. The patient complained of weight loss, halitosis and intermittent periods of cough. It was diagnosed that the patient had stage two Zenker’s diverticulum on the upper part of esophagus and back to thyroid gland. The patient successfully underwent surgery and stayed five days in hospital. After the postoperative third day it was allowed the patient’s oral feeding. After an uneventful recovery and adequate oral intake, the patient was discharged on the fifth postoperative day.
