Developing patient care goals involves a collaborative process: 1. Assessment: Nurses perform a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs. 2. Diagnosis: Based on the assessment, nurses identify nursing diagnoses that require intervention. 3. Planning: Nurses, in collaboration with other healthcare professionals and the patient, set realistic and achievable goals. 4. Implementation: The care plan is executed, focusing on the established goals. 5. Evaluation: Nurses regularly evaluate the patient's progress and adjust the care plan as necessary.
