Process in making the Family Nursing Care Plan
1. Assessment Phase – Happens on the first and succeeding home visits. Making objective observation can be coupled with subjective statements by each family member.
2. Identification of the Problem/s – Make a list of the problems sited. Prioritization of the needs must be applied.
3. Formulation of Goals and Objectives – Referring on the problems, goals and objectives must be measurable, attainable, realistic and time-oriented.
4. Plot Nursing Interventions – The objectives must be the guidelines in making nursing interventions. Nursing interventions must be rational enough.
5. Evaluate the outcomes – This stage will be the determining stage whether the goals and objectives have been met or not. Nursing interventions can be modified at this stage.
