Accordingly, nurses and patient’s jointly established feasible goals and created a plan in which patient’s wishes prevailed. Most of the time, the nurse concluded the consultation by discussing the plan that was created, which was mostly likely not written down on paper for the patient’s to take home.

During subsequent consultation, nurse evaluated how patients had performed, repeated the assessment, and if necessary, reinforced or adapted goals and plans.
