:uhoh21: I would like to know how many of you out there sit down and read each and every care plan on each and everyone of your residents each and every day before you start work? I am not talking about getting report, or reading the assignment board.
Yes the RN nursing practice act mandates that we formulate one, and the state and federal regulations mandate that we develop one as well. Most of the care plans just duplicate what is already built into the standards of care, & the MD orders.
Do you think that the care plans in the residents medical records have a significant impact on the way you deliver nursing care?:uhoh21:
