Nursing Care Plan Design
6 weeks · 0 milestones
Design a comprehensive nursing care plan for a real or realistic patient scenario. Proof requires a care plan covering: assessment findings, nursing diagnoses (NANDA format or equivalent), SMART goals, nursing interventions with documented rationale for each, and evaluation criteria. Reviewed and annotated by a qualified nursing educator who confirms the plan is clinically sound and internally consistent. The scenario must be specific — a care plan for 'patient with hypertension' is not sufficient; the proof must reference specific clinical findings and individualised interventions. The proof is a learning exercise reviewed by a qualified educator, not a care plan to be implemented in a clinical setting.

Under supervision of your registered nurse clinical supervisor, conduct a structured patient assessment of a consenting patient using a recognised assessment framework (Roper-Logan-Tierney Activities of Living, or an equivalent model used in your clinical setting). Document your assessment across all assessment domains relevant to the framework. All documentation must use clinical language appropriate for a nursing assessment, and all patient data must be fully anonymised in your submitted record.
Proof required
Submit your anonymised patient assessment record (structured by the chosen framework's domains), countersigned by your registered nurse supervisor who confirms you conducted the assessment under their direct supervision. Patient identifiers must be fully removed.
What gets checked
- Assessment framework is named and consistently applied — the assessment is structured by the model's domains, not as free prose.
- Clinical language is used throughout — 'the patient said they feel sad' is not clinical assessment language for a nursing record.
- Supervisor countersignature confirms direct observation of the assessment.
