Ch 16: Outcomes identification and planning Flashcards
What does outcome identification and planning include between people and who
 What 4 things can you do during outcome identification and planning
- Establish
- identifies/write
- select
- communicate
How come identification in planning includes a partnership between patients and families
4 things you can do during out come at identification and planning
- establish priorities
- identify and write expected outcomes
- Select evidence based interventions
- Communicate nursing care plan
How do you define a goal
what is a patient outcome defined as 
Goal = =
What is the difference between an expected outcome and a goal and what does an expected outcome measure
A goal is an aim or end
Patient outcome is an expected conclusion to health problem/expectation
Call = objective = outcome
Expected outcome is specific and measurable v goal: broad
-expected outcomes measure the extent to which a goal has been met

What is informal planning
Why is it important to include family as much as possible
Informal planning is a problem that comes along with patient treatment as we treat other problems that we must address 1st and then go back to the original problem
Including family allows to identify and I’ll come and start planning
What is a formal care plan allow the nurse to do
- personal
- set
- facilitate
- promote
- what is done with care
- response
- record/reimbursement
- promote
 formal care planning allows:
- individualized care to maximize outcome achievement
- Set priorities
- facilitate communication among professionals
- promote high-quality cost effective care -coordinate care
- evaluate response to nursing care -create record for eval, research, reimbursement
- promote professional development
What is the ultimate primary purpose of alchemy identification planning
-what does it allow
How do we see the patient and what are nursing care plans designed to incorporate
What does nursing planning help do
Ultimate primary purpose of outcome identification planning is to:
-design a care plan within for the patient (individualize)
• care plan allows to implement, prevent, reduce, resolve health problems
Nurses see patients holistically
Nursing care plans designed to incorporate independent, dependent, collaborative responsibilities
Nursing planning helps:
- promote wellness,
- prevent disease/illness
- promote recovery
- **facilitate coping with altered functioning
What does successful implementation of each step require a high level of skill in
When does discharge planning begin
To successfully implement each step of the nursing process you must have a high level of skill in critical thinking/reasoning
Discharge planning begins from the moment the patient steps into the hospital (You see patient)
How can you plan healthcare correctly (what must you do)
What is the big picture focus:
To correctly plan healthcare
• be familiar with standards/agency policies for setting priorities
• ID and record patient outcomes select evidenced based nursing interventions record planning (talk to me)
• remember goal of patient centered care is to keep patient interest and preference central
Big picture focus:
-What are discharge goals for the patient and How should this direct shift interventions
Defined the clinical reasoning used during Outcome identification and planning
What do you want to trust and ask for
What is there to value
What is there to respect
Recognize and keep what?
Trust clinical experience/judgment be willing to ask for help when more qualifications and experience are needed
VALUE COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE 
Respect your clinical intuition before establishing priorities, outcomes and selecting interventions be sure that the research supports your plan
-Ask yourself why
Recognize personal bias and keep an open mind
What are questions that facility (produce) clinical reasoning
- What do you do when identifying outcomes and planning
- Setting priorities: what problems require my IMMEDIATE attention/or teams
- Identifying outcomes: what must I observe in patient to demonstrate resolution of problem identified by nursing diagnosis
- Selecting EBP nursing interventions: what Intervention backed by science will help my patient get to the expected outcomes
- Communicating plan of care: does care address the patient’s priority today
Give the three elements of comprehensive planning
- Initial
- On going
- Discharge
What does the initial planning phase begin with (how)
WHO develops the initial planning
What is addressed
What does the initial planning phase identify
Initial planning phase begins with nursing history and physical assessment
 A nurse who performs nursing history and physical assessment develops initial planning
During initial planning each problem listen in the prioritized nursing diagnosis are addressed
Initial planning phase identifies goals and related nursing care

Describe ongoing planning
By why and what do they do? Aka? What is done to diagnosis What is done to outcomes What is identified
Carried out by ANY Nurse who interacts with patients
-Keeps plan up-to-date, manages risk factors, promote function
Aka new problems
Makes modifications if diagnosis is unclear or adjusts to new data
+ makes NEW Diagnosis
Makes outcomes more realistic and develops new outcomes
Identifies nursing interventions to accomplish patient goals
Describe discharge planning
When does discharge planning begin
How do you ensure home care behaviors are performed competently
-what is the key to planning
Begins: when patient is admitted
Carried out by nurse who worked MOST CLOSELY with patient (case manager)
Uses teaching and counseling to ensure home care behaviors are performed competently
-education = key to planning
What is a standardized care plan and what can be used as and how are they modified
Standardize care plans are prepared (set) plans that can be used as a baseline and customize to the patient and their needs
What are the priorities of nursing diagnoses and define them (3)
What is another term for low priority
What is not needed for low priority
High priority diag: greatest threat to patient will being
Medium priority diag : NONTHREATENING diagnoses
Low priority diag: diagnosis NOT SPECIFICALLY REATED TO CURRENT HEALTH PROBLEM
-   risk of (Potential problem)
- no immediate intervention
What priorities are greater than psychosocial
what is the exception
Physiologic priorities> psychosocial needs
Unless patient’s safety is being threatened like suicide
-if you won’t have a patient, it is the highest priority!
What are ways to establish priorities among nursing diagnosis
What are 3 helpful guides to help prioritize patient problems
Develop a prioritized list of nursing diagnoses to help set priorities
 3 helpful guides to prioritize patient problems:
- Maslow‘s HON
- Patient preference
- anticipation of future problems
+ physiological v psychosocial
Describe Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in reference to the most important to the least important of need classification
MOST 1. Physiologic needs 2. safety needs 🦺 3. ♥️ and belonging needs 4. self-esteem 5. self actualization LEAST
What do you meet when considering patient preferences as part of a guide to Prioritize patient needs
-when are they dressed

Define anticipation of future problems
Patient preferences:
-meet patient needs at that time That patient thinks are the most important
-ADDRESSED 1st
🚫you can cause problems by not addressing those patient needs
Anticipation of future problems:
Considering the potential effects of different nursing actions
