Home Health Nursing Care Plans Book

Introduction

The ninety care plans in this book cover every nursing diagnosis and care plan problem that may be generated from the OASIS form. Terminology is based on OASIS language and nursing diagnosis definitions and classifications as outlined by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA). The care plan format follows the care plan standards from the American Nurses Association.

The first section of the book covers regulations and standards for care planning, care plan components, and Quality Measures and Outcome Measures.

A Data Collection Quick Tool is provided for filling in the OASIS form, and will greatly speed up the process of completing a thorough and comprehensive assessment.

Because the terminology of the care plans is based on OASIS language, it is very easy to see which care plans are triggered by the OASIS entries.

The care plans can be used for outlines of care, and are also extremely useful for teaching patients and caregivers.

Care plans are placed in the book alphabetically by problem title, and follow the list given in the Table of Contents.

All of the care plans and forms in the book are also on the CD.

When the CD is placed in a computer, the care plans can be opened in a word processor. Entries can be added or deleted to individualize the care plans.
