I need help with care plans/ formatting for excelsior exams

Published

Does anyone have any sample care plans they can share? I failed the HDLS 2 and it was suggested to make a care plan. Including signs/symptoms, diagnostics tests, treatment plans with foucs in nursing care and medications

I just don't know how to get started. I can easily make one from excel but not sure how to set it up. :confused::smilecoffeecup:

Please Please Advise!

thanks,

Lisa

what you could do is just list the sign and symptoms you would see in the disease process.

list the labs or diagnostics exams used to diagnose the disease

what are some nursing interventions to be implemented

what are some pt. outcomes to be expected as a result of our nursing care

hope this helps

Lisa,

Aren't there formats for care plans online?

I made note cards instead of careplans! It seemed to help! Good luck, that one is hard!

I'm not sure if you just want to know how to format it in Excel or do you want help with how to write a care plan.

Either way try typing "Daytonite" in the allnurses search bar and look at some of her posts. She has helped with many careplans here.

Also check the stickies here there is probably a stickie with helpful info.
