    NURSING CARE PLAN SCHIZOPHRENIA ASSESSMENT:

    The first step in the nursing process is the assessment. This step is most important because without an assessment the nurse cannot create a accurate care plan. Each care plan varies from each client. During the assessment phase the nurse gathers data on the patient. Data can be collected by client, family members, or old records. The nurse must be aware on the clients present behavioral condition. She/he should also be educated on other common behaviors related to disorder.

    NURSING DIAGNOSIS:

    Based on your assessment the nurse would come up with an appropriate nursing diagnosis, you may use more then one depending on the assessment. Some examples include Disturbed sensory perception, Disturbed thought process, Social isolation, Risk for violence: selfdirected or other-directed, Impaired verbal communication, Self-care deficit, Disabled family coping, Ineffective health maintance, and Impaired home maintance.

    PLAN:

    Next, come up with a plan or a goal regarding the nursing diagnosis you have chosen for the patient to complete. The goal must be obtainable. It must also have a reasonable time frame for the client to complete it. A couple examples of goals for a patient dealing with schizophreania would be: (1) Disturbed Thought Process - Client will reconize and communicate false ideas within two weeks. (2) Social Isolation - Within one week client will willingly attend group activites.

    INTERVENTION:

    The fourth step is coming up with interventions. The nurse would include a list of things they are going to do to help the client obtain his/her set goals. Some examples of interventions for a schizophrenic patient are: (1) Disturbed Thought Process - Reinforce and focus on reality, discourage irrational thinking. (2) Social Isolation - Reconize and give possitive feedback when client interacts possitively with others.

    EVALUATION:

    The last step is the evaluation. Did the plan work within the given time frame? The nurse would here restate plan including whether it was successful or not. Example: (1) Disturbed Thought Process - Client did/or did not reconize and communicate false ideas within two weeks. (2) Social Isolation - Within one week client did/or did not willingly attend activies. If plan does not work the nurse has to adjust the care plan until the client can meet his/her set goals.
