Creating a Plan of Care

Utilizing the information you have gathered over the last four weeks (week1-4 attached) regarding the specific illness group you identified, this week, you will create a plan of care for your chronic illness group.

In a Microsoft Word document of 5-6 pages formatted in APA style, (this page requirement includes the holistic care plan). Include the following in your plan:

·  Provide a brief introduction describing the chronically ill group you selected and rationale for selecting this illness and the participants.

o  Clearly identify the Healthy People 2020 topic chosen and why this topic was selected.

·  Develop a holistic plan of care including patient, family and friends acceptance of the diagnosis, coping and impact on plan of care.

·  Summarize the information gathered in each week (Weeks 1–4) over 2 to 3 pages. This is should not to be copied and pasted from previous assignments.

·  Create a care plan for your chronic illness group organized using the following headings:

o  Nursing Diagnoses (at least 3 related to topic and interview results)

o  Assessment Data (objective and subjective)

o  Interview Results

o  Desired Outcomes

o  Evaluation Criteria

o  Actions and Interventions

o  Evaluation of Patient Outcomes

·  Identify strategies for the family or caregiver in the care plan and provide your rationale on how they will work.

Support your responses with examples and information from library resources, textbook and lectures.

·  Papers are professional papers so you should use third person.  Try not to use first or second person when completing.  Review APA format.

Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.

On a separate references page, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Support your work, using your course lectures and textbook readings. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the  University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the  University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.
