Adult learners are expected to already have the tools to look for imformation., not be spoonfed like High School.

Have you looked in your nursing textbook or Care plan book? ..... talked to your fellow classmates?

What information has your instructor provided to you. Have you searched our website under " Care Plans.... med cards....APA format"

Most programs follow a nursing theorist and need care plans developed based on that theory....you need to provide us with more details of what you have done so far so we can assist.

well.....what is cerebral palsy? what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy? what is dysphagia? is that from the cerebral palsy? the age is important, think about erickson's growth and development. what is hypertension? what does hypertension do to the body? what medicines would be taken for hypertension? what is the lactulose for? liver problems or gi track?

you must be first year. have you asked your classmates? do you have a care plan book?

have you used the search on this site?
