Do you have a care plan book to possibly help you? Well, what have you got so far for your careplan? What interventions and outcomes have you got so far?

there is help in the general nursing student discussion forum on how to write a care plan:

i can tell you are stuck with care planning because a care plan is based in the nursing problems the patient has, not upon the medical diagnosis or medical procedure that they had.

the reason your nursing instructors gave you lectures and information about assessing patients is because that information is crucial to determining what a person's nursing problems are. you need to go back and review what that information is that you collected. you, specifically, are looking for what was abnormal. this abnormal information becomes the evidence that will support the nursing diagnoses that you will end up choosing. your interventions and goals are based upon that abnormal assessment data.

discharge teaching includes addressing these subjects:

• their diet
  
• allowed physical activity
  
• medications they need to take
  
• any treatments, dressings and tests they need to be doing after discharge
  
• referrals to any outside agencies or support groups
  
• follow up appointments with doctors have been made and patient understanding
  
• teaching materials and/or contact with outpatient professionals for continued care and teaching have been provided to the patient

there are some examples of post-op care plans on this website:

• http://www.pana.org/ - generic care plans for all kinds of surgeries - to access the care plan bank, click on the "student activities" link at the left side of the home page. when the pana student resources page comes up, scroll down and click on the "care plan bank" link. these are intraoperative care plans.
