In this care plan, I was able to use my nursing assessment skills and communication skills to gather appropriate information and create an effective plan of care for a patient that had a small partial bowel obstruction. This involved finding the problems presented by the patient, creating nursing diagnoses to correlate with the problems, and creating and implementing interventions to help solve or treat the problems present. This care plan also provides information of the medications the patient may be on regardless of the current medical problem. Care plans are used to help guide patient care, and are specific to each patient. They can be modified as necessary to continue to be relevant and beneficial to the patient. No patient identifiers are present in this care plan.
