  1. Improve communication among nurses working with the child.
  2. Assist medical records in documenting care provided for insurance purposes.
  3. Aid the nursing supervisor in evaluating the nursing staff.
  4. Coordinate medical orders with nursing orders.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Standardizing the language assists each individual providing care to be consistent in the health care approach.
Rationale 2: The purpose of the nursing care plan is to improve care provided to the child and is not related directly to insurance.
Rationale 3: The nursing care plan is a communication tool for all health care members caring for the child and is not related to nursing supervision.
Rationale 4: While the nursing care plan includes dependent and independent orders, this is not the purpose of standardized NICs.
