What is included in a nursing care plan?
Assessment data, the nursing problems (diagnoses), measurable goals, nursing interventions with rationales and an evaluation of whether each goal was met. This follows the nursing process: assess, diagnose, plan, implement, evaluate.
How do I write a nursing care plan?
Assess the client, choose the priority nursing problems, write a measurable goal for each, list interventions that work toward the goal (with a reason for each) and evaluate whether the goal was met. Rank airway, breathing and circulation problems first.
What are the 5 main components of a care plan?
The five parts follow the nursing process: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning (goals), implementation (interventions) and evaluation.
What does NANDA stand for in healthcare?
NANDA originally stood for the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association. It is now NANDA International (NANDA-I), the organization that develops and publishes the standardized list of nursing diagnoses.
What are the types of nursing diagnoses?
NANDA-I describes problem-focused diagnoses (a current problem), risk diagnoses (a problem that could develop), health promotion diagnoses (readiness to improve) and syndrome diagnoses (a cluster of related diagnoses).
