Creating a Plan of Care

Utilizing the information you have gathered over the weeks regarding the specific illness group you identified, this week, you will create a plan of care for your chronic illness group.

Create the plan in a 4- to 6-page Microsoft Word document (the 46 pages include the holistic care plan). Include the following in your plan:

• Start the paper with a brief introduction describing the chronically ill group you selected and provide rationale for selecting this illness and the participants. Clearly identify the Healthy People 2020 topic chosen and why this topic was chosen.
• You will want to compile the information gathered from Weeks 14 over 2 to 3 pages. This should be in APA format and paragraph form. This is not to be copied and pasted from previous assignments. It is to be a summary of each week. 
• The paper should include the care plan for your chronic illness group organized under the following headings:
  • Nursing Diagnoses
  • Assessment Data (objective and subjective)
  • Interview Results
  • Desired Outcomes
  • Evaluation Criteria
  • Actions and Interventions
