1. Identify a minimum of three NANDA Nursing Diagnoses, from the highest priority to the lowest priority (20 points).
2. Identify a minimum of three expected outcomes in the total care plan (Remember, there are 3 care plans, so you should have 9 goals overall...3 for each care plan. 20 points)
3. List patient-centered nursing implementation for the nursing diagnoses to meet the expected outcomes (20 points)
4. Provide an evidence-based rationale to support the nursing implementation, using national clinical guidelines (20 points)
