The Revision Guide for Student Nurses (Part I)

Nursing Care Plan

Again by popular demand, Fiona Lord VN has made her nursing care plan available for all to download here

She explains: "On the front of the plan is an admission form. On the reverse is the plan itself. It's designed to help assess each patient as an individual and set out a plan of care, with goals. There is space to record any possible problems that arise, and nursing actions taken. The plan for each patient should be assessed on a regular basis, depending on the individual, and then altered accordingly."
