FAMILY HEALTH NURSING PROCESS
STEPS IN DEVELOPING THE FAMILY NURSING
CARE PLAN
- Prioritizing
- Defining Goals and Objectives
- Developing Intervention Plan
- Developing Evaluation Plan
● Instrument used for prioritizing problems:
PRIORITIZING
● General statement of the condition or state to be
brought about by specific courses of action.
Example:
● After nursing intervention, the family will be able
to take care of the disabled child competently
GOAL
● More specific statements of the desired results or
outcomes of care
● May be short-term, medium-term or long-term
OBJECTIVE
● Selection of appropriate nursing interventions
based on the formulated goals and objectives
● Specifying how the nurse will determine
changes in health status, condition, or situation
and achievement of the outcomes of care (goals &
objectives).
DEVELOPING INTERVENTION PLAN
The step when the family and/ or
the nurse execute the plan of action.
IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN OF CARE
1.) ● May be a manifestation of the family’s
feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness.
2.) ● May result in the family allowing
events to just happen.
1.) Apathy
2.) Indecision
