How are critical pathways and standardized nursing care plans similar? Both:
1) Specify daily, or even hourly, outcomes and interventions.
2) Prescribe minimal care needed to meet recommended lengths of stay.
3) Describe care common to all patients with a certain condition or situation.
4) Emphasize medical problems and interventions.
Question 2
The nurse is individualizing Mr. Wu's plan of care by writing a plan for his nursing diagnosis of Anxiety. Why does the nurse need to write goals/outcomes on the plan of care? Because outcomes describe:
1) Desirable changes in the patient's health status.
2) Specific patient responses to medical interventions.
3) Specific nursing behaviors to improve a patient's health.
4) Criteria to evaluate the appropriateness of a nursing diagnosis.
