Chat with AIExam 13: Providing Patient Value While Achieving Quality, Safety, and Cost-Effectiveness
Write one component of a nursing care plan that illustrates personalized care.
(41) 
VerifiedThe nurse should include the patient in developing the care plan. The nurse can determine what goals the patient has and how the patient feels they can best meet those goals. For example, if a patient has a nursing diagnosis of acute pain, the nurse can work with the patient to develop a goal of "patient will report a decrease in pain (level 3) by the end of the shift, 8pm." The nurse can ask the patient what best relieves their pain to develop interventions. The patient might feel better when rotating positions every hour. An intervention for the nurse would be to assist the patient in changing positions every hour. If the patient states heat helps relieve pain, the nurse can add an intervention of applying heat every hour for 10 minutes at one time. The patient is more likely to meet their goal if they are involved in planning their own care.
