nursing care plans

A nursing care plan is a detailed document created by healthcare professionals to outline the care and treatment for a patient. It includes the patient's medical history, current health status, specific needs, and goals for recovery. The plan outlines interventions—actions nurses and other team members will take, such as administering medication, providing education, or monitoring vital signs. This ensures everyone involved in the patient's care works together effectively and that the patient receives consistent and comprehensive care tailored to their individual situation.
