Management of Care QID 524

A nurse is developing a plan of care for a client with multiple healthcare needs. What is the nurse's best initial action?

A:
Implement nursing interventions independently before consulting the healthcare team.
B:
Have the most experienced nurse draft the plan without team input.
C:
Limit the input from the client to focus on clinical needs.
D:
Collaborate with the interdisciplinary healthcare team and involve the client in planning.

Explanation

Creating an effective plan of care for a client with complex healthcare needs requires collaboration with the interdisciplinary healthcare team and active involvement from the client. Input from various team members and the client ensures a holistic approach to care, taking into consideration all aspects of the client's health, preferences, and goals. Implementing interventions without collaboration or client involvement may not address all the client's needs and could potentially lead to suboptimal outcomes.
