1. Assessment: Gathering comprehensive data on patient characteristics. 2. Diagnosis: Identifying health problems and potential complications. 3. Planning: Developing a tailored care plan that addresses the unique needs of the patient. 4. Implementation: Carrying out the care plan while continuously monitoring the patient. 5. Evaluation: Assessing the effectiveness of the care plan and making adjustments as needed.
