Resources: Written Assignment Grading Criteria: Patient Plan of Care and Nursing Care Planning Guides: Prioritization, Delegation, and Critical Thinking, and an end-of-life case study posted in the course materials.
Develop and complete a plan of care for one patient from a case study posted in the course materials by the teacher. The nursing plan of care will include the assessment, diagnosis, outcomes, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Include the following when developing your care plan:
Three Nursing Diagnoses: one will include addressing the needs of the patient’s family, and two will address the patient. Each diagnosis requires a minimum of two goals/outcomes, and three interventions/implementation. Please use the format for a nursing care plan posted in the course materials. Please prioritize your care plan for the needs of a dying patient.

Please use the APA format for the title page, font, and references. Use citations in the assessment section, but you do not need to use citations in the nursing care plan. Please put your references starting on a separate page after the nursing care plan.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS
Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
