Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan.

It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Patient-Centered Care

Background:

  • Birth plans emerged in 1980 to document patient choices during childbirth.
  • They facilitate discussion between patients and providers regarding birthing preferences and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact and patient satisfaction associated with using birth plans.
  • To explore the relationship between birth plans, labor interventions, and psychological outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and clinical data concerning birth plan utilization.
  • Analysis of factors influencing patient satisfaction with birth plans, including request accomplishment and delivery complications.

Main Results:

  • Patient satisfaction with birth plans is variable, influenced by the number of requests, fulfillment rates, delivery route, and complications.
  • Birth plan use may correlate with reduced use of epidural anesthesia, early amniotomy, and oxytocin.
  • The first stage of labor may be prolonged with birth plan use, while the second stage appears unaffected.

Conclusions:

  • While birth plans can enhance communication, unmet expectations may lead to psychological distress, such as posttraumatic stress disorder.
  • Potential disadvantages include provider concerns about disappointment and interference with professional autonomy.
