Learning outcomes for Chapter 8, Yoost Latest Exam Update 2023

LO 8.1 Articulate nursing actions that take place during the planning process: - ANSDuring planning, the professional nurse prioritizes the patient's nursing diagnoses, determines short- and long-term goals, identifies outcome indicators, and lists nursing interventions for patient-centered care. LO 8.2 Describe various measures used in prioritizing patient care: - ANS-Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the ABCs of life support in the health care setting are helpful resources in prioritizing care. Collaboration with patients while developing goals can decrease the incidence of conflicting priorities. LO 8.7 Discuss the importance of planning throughout patient care: - ANS-Care planning begins when a patient and nurse first interact and continues until the patient no 115longer requires care. It takes place at a variety of times and places. It can include preadmission, acute care, home care, and discharge planning. Seamless communication throughout a patient's care ensures continuity of treatment and improved patient outcomes. LO 8.3 Illustrate an understanding of goal development: - ANS-Goals need to be patient centered, realistic, and measurable. Using measurable verbs and time limits when writing goals assists the nurse in evaluation of patient goal attainment. LO 8.6 Distinguish among the types of interventions: - ANS-Independent interventions are nurse initiated, and dependent nursing interventions require an order from a patient's health care provider. Collaborative interventions require cooperation among a few or many members of the interdisciplinary health care team. LO 8.4 Describe the relationship between outcome identification and goal attainment: - ANS-Outcome identification, added by ANA in 1991 as a specific aspect of the nursing process, involves listing observable behaviors or items that indicate attainment of a goal. LO 8.5 Identify formats in which patient-centered plans of care can be developed: - ANS-Each health care facility or agency has its own electronic health record or form on which patient care plans are formulated and documented. In some agencies and specialty units, standardized care plans, which must be individualized for each patient, are available to guide nurses in the planning process. The conceptual care map (CCM) is a format for nursing students to use when developing patient care plans. It helps students to accurately collect, analyze, and synthesize patient data that are used to identify appropriate nursing diagnoses, goals, and interventions. CONTINUES...
