Nursing care plans (NCP) entails the processes of correctly identifying the pre-existing needs as well as the potential needs risk needs. Also providing communication channels through which nurses collaborate with other healthcare providers achieve desirable healthcare outcomes that are patient-oriented. Nursing care plans often differ from one context to another, depending on the hierarchy of the nursing practice and the criteria. Put in place to guarantee a smooth continuity of healthcare that will eventually see patients through their suffering (Patiraki et al., 2017). Nursing care plan for different disorders ought to be based on previous knowledge (evidence) to facilitate care procedures that directly address specific patient needs (Patiraki et al., 2017).
This essay will provide an illustrative nursing care plan that is created to address a specific disorder concerning the evaluation findings of that particular patient. Before the details of the care plan, an analytical description of the individual patient-derived from ten results of the patient analysis will be outlaid and will expertly guide the process of constructing the nursing plan. The method of the study will inform each detail of the considerations governing decision making on the most appropriate nursing care plan to be followed on that particular plan. However, the names given in this essay will not be the actual names of the patient to align with the provisions of the NMC code. Alternatively, pseudonyms will be used in place of the real names to protect the patient identity.
According to Johnson et al., (2018), an approach that is applied by nurses should target a collaboration between different medical professions. It is because partnerships will guarantee a proper understanding of the appropriate and hence, the necessary therapeutic interventions that are patient-specific. The nursing care plan developed herein s derived to a patient-specific assessment and therefore, the evaluation of their nursing care needs. The review was made for an 18-year old boy who is a patient of Anorexia nervosa (eating disorder). The boy is known as Ashley, and the rationale for his reception of nursing care follows his medical diagnosis Anorexia nervosa (eating disorder). It has presented harmful symptoms that cannot be easily handled by his immediate family. Ashley has been submitted for medication at this facility by his family due to the extremity of his symptoms of an eating disorder. Which has resulted in excessive weight loss and continued challenging to maintain the recommended weight for his height, age, and stature.
Before the beginning of developing my nursing plan, I happened to hold a conversation with Ashley in seclusion. The idea was to eliminate an environment in which everyone else was present. Hence, draw the patients attention by introducing a situation in which he would not be over compensatory with the clinical staff and therefore would not strive to act healthy. By so doing, the new environment would allow him to work according to behavioral expectations without the knowledge of whether it is essential to perform so. Ashley's feeding disorder has in the recent past, intrigued by his fear of gaining any extra weight since he was 16. During this period, he says he has always viewed himself as fat in the past and has hence practiced adherence to restrictions in the number of caries he currently consumes. He has indulged in compulsive exercise and often induces pure through vomiting. His report an element that must be taken into consideration whiles developing a care plan that will be sensitive and suitable for his condition.
The perception that nurses develop the signs of underweight and eating disorders as given by the patients has the potentials to either affect nursing care negatively or positively. Nurses and other health caregivers may individually interpret wrongly the idea of what the patient narrates, and this would change the nature of care and interventional nursing options applied to their situation. Ashley's agitation for weight loss is a current and prevalent issue that most nursing and non-nursing staff occasionally handle. However, the most predictable risk to nursing interventions for his eating disorder will be if he feels the agitation to involve in his routine compulsive exercises in the middle of interventional practices before communication with his healthcare givers (Patricia et al., 2015).
The nursing issue identified here could, therefore, limit the nursing intervention criteria for individuals with Anorexia nervosa like Ashley. Besides, as literature recognizes, Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rates of the rest of psychiatric disorders, which mainly occur through a combination of physical health complications or sometimes through suicide. The chances of mortality
