Developing a nursing care plan involves several steps:
1. Assessment: Gather comprehensive data about the patient's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. 2. Diagnosis: Analyze the assessment data to identify the patient's health problems and formulate nursing diagnoses. 3. Planning: Set realistic and achievable goals for the patient and choose appropriate nursing interventions. 4. Implementation: Carry out the planned interventions. 5. Evaluation: Monitor the patient's progress and make necessary adjustments to the care plan.
