Nursing Assessment, Plan of Care, and Patient Education: The Foundation of Patient Care

Imagine a surveyor looking at an incomplete nursing assessment, not finding a care plan, or realizing that education was skipped over. Just one patient missing one of these elements can generate plenty of surveyor findings. That's why hospitals are beginning to focus their attention on these fundamental elements in order to demonstrate satisfactory patient care on survey day. Nursing Assessment, Care Plan, and Patient Education: The Foundation of Patient Care will show you how to do just that and more. With Nursing Assessment, Care Plan, and Patient Education you'll benefit from first-person, in-depth case studies from your colleagues working in facilities that have mastered each of these three elements and aced real and mock surveys. These real-life experiences offer important insights from nurses in the field into what really works. This practical and user-friendly book also features vital tools for each component of the nursing assessment, care plan, and patient education. These tools will help your facility s day-to-day operations, improve the quality of care you provide, and keep your organization survey-ready for whenever The Joint Commission shows up.
