Next, plan your care based on your analysis of your assessment data:

Diagnosis
Write one nursing diagnosis that reflects a priority need for this person. Remember a wellness diagnosis is a possibility.

Plan Write one goal and one measurable expected outcome related to your nursing diagnosis. Explain why this goal and outcome is a priority. Include cultural considerations for this client.

Intervention
Write as many nursing orders or nursing interventions that you need in order to achieve the outcome. Provide the rationale for each intervention listed.
