Adult Care Plan Scenario
• Is there anything you could consider to help with anxiety levels, for example effective communication, regular reassurance, as the patient is very SOB ensuring that he can communicate effectively with you
• Aim to highlight the key nursing diagnosis in the diagnosis section. Focus on what the patients presentation is
• Focus on the patients acute symptoms that require urgent consideration
• Address the patients acute needs within your care plan, this patients symptoms are consistent with acute asthma and he requires nursing input such as oxygen, effective communication, the patients acute presentation would also require escalation to other members of the MDT to review the patient. Think about preventing deterioration.
● Plan person-centred and holistic care based on the identified needs.
● Explain any use of a model of nursing to base the care plan on. If a model is chosen, use that framework of assessment to provide structure for the care plan.
