Answer to Question 1

The first step is priority setting to determine if any of the diagnoses represent life-threatening situations. Determine the overall expected outcome. Prioritize the problems based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. List the problems and identify the cause of each. Include others in the plan. Collaborate with family to identify any suggestions or interventions they may have noted in the past that were helpful. Meet with other members of the health care team for suggestions on planning the nursing care.
