XIX. NURSING CARE PLAN: Directions:

1. Formulate a NCP using (3) nursing diagnoses:

a. Two (2) are the priority nursing diagnoses from the above list.

b. The 3rd nursing diagnosis is always Knowledge Deficit.

c. Write full nursing diagnoses statements.

Example: Ineffective airway clearance R/T increased sputum production as evidenced by ineffective cough and coarse rhonchi.

Note: if nursing diagnosis is “Risk for” there is no evidence to report.

d. Include client’s level on Maslow’s Hierarchy.

2. Outcomes:

a. Include Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC).

b. State (2) STGs and (1) LTG.

c. Goals must be client-centered, specific, measurable, realistic, and have a time frame for achievement.

Examples: STG: Lungs will be clear in 8 hours. LTG: Client will demonstrate colostomy care by time of D/C.

Note: Sometimes it is more appropriate for LTGs to extend beyond D/C.

3. Interventions:

a. Include Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC).

b. Prioritize interventions in order of performance.

c. Must be individualized/specific/with frequencies/and be directly related to goals.

d. Cite work for all interventions

Example: 1. Observe/assess resp status for rate, depth, and chest wall movement Q4 hrs and PRN (Lemone & Burke, 2004)

4. Rationales: Specific to each intervention listed and scientific.

Example: 1. Tachypnea, shallow resp, and asymmetric chest movement may be indicative of resp compromise (Lemone & Burke, 2004).

Note: Use nursing textbooks and scholarly journals only.

No medical dictionaries or health-related internet web sites are to be used.

Cite work for all rationales.

Note: Last page of NCP must include APA formatted reference page for all works cited in interventions and rationales.

5. Documentation: Document your interventions as you would in written nurses’ notes. Example: 0800 RR shallow at 24/min, even, non-labored.

6. Evaluation: Evaluate each STG as met, partially met, or not met and care plan status as D/C, continue, or revise.

Example: Goal not met. Revise care plan. Note for teaching care plan: In order for learning to have taken place, the client must verbalize or demonstrate something.

Example: Verbalized how to read labels on canned goods for sodium content.
