Carrying out a specific, individualized plan constitutes the implementation phase of the nursing process. The nurse's action of encouragement and instruction to the patient is part of carrying out a plan of action. When planning care for a patient, the nurse may use a visual diagram of patient problems and interventions to illustrate the relationships among pertinent clinical data. This format is called a A. concept map.
B. critical pathway.
C. clinical pathway.
D. nursing care plan.
A. concept map
A concept map is another method of recording a nursing care plan. In a conc
ept map, the nursing process is recorded in a visual diagram of patient problems and interventions. A clinical (critical) pathway is a p
rewritten plan that directs the entire interprofessional care team in the daily care goals for select health care p
roblems. A nurse is providing care for a patient who had a transurethral resection of his prosta
te this morning. The patient is receiving continuous bladder irrigation, and the urinary catheter is now occluded. The nurse is pla
nning to contact the patient's health care provider and communicate using the SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessm
ent-
Recommendation) format. Which statement is a component of communication using SBAR? A. "What do you think could be causing this occlusion?"
B. "I think that we should manually irrigate his catheter."
C. "What do you know about this patient and his history?"
D. "Could you please provide some direction for his care?"lOMoARcPSD|27929433
