Care plans
The statements below refer to care plans. Are they true or false?

2 . The language used in care plans should be straightforward and simple.
Answer TRUE: The language you use to write a care plan should be kept simple so that everyone reading it is able to understand what action is needed to complete the set tasks.
3 .Care plans start by listing the client’s problem/s.
Answer FALSE: The first step in writing a care plan normally involves assessing the patient’s needs on admission.

Steps in care planning
Before I hate writing care plans as we are required by our CI’s to do it handwritten, so I literally have to spend a lot of time just to finish one copy and then pass it as a requirement! Now we are already allowed to print it and this link is really a good resource and will make my student life a lot easier!
Glad to be of help!
