care plan evaluation

nurseprnRN, BSN, RN · Dec 1, 2011

part of of your confusion is that you're starting with a diagnosis and then wanting to know what to do about it. that's backward. you develop a diagnosis from what you assessed.

did you have a patient with relocation stress, or did you pick that one out of a list and decide to do it?

if you diagnosed relocation stress syndrome in someone, you'd have found some defining characteristics and related figures.

even if you just picked it randomly... when i look at my nanda for relocation stress syndrome, there's a long list of them. once you have those, you can figure out which of those related factors are something nursing can do something about. does that make sense?

thanks that helps. i am starting to understand care plans better. i thought that they were harder than they really are.

i am so glad to have helped!

now you can help me out: just curious-- how does someone characterized as a "new member" have 20,000+ profile visits, 100+articles, 500+friends, and how do you get "cash awarded" and "gifts"? are these real, or a glitch, or?? something has got to be off-kilter here. :specs:

(and i am noted as having "15+" posts:bugeyes:)

just a glitch related to the new formatting -- no worries! and it seems to have disappeared by this morning-- net-elves at work overnight, no doubt.
