Nursing Care Plan Rubric 
Choose a patient scenario. It may be a patient you had in clinical, a patient with a disease or disorder of your choosing (different from the one presented in patho), or your instructor can provide one for you. Prepare a care plan based on relevant objective and subjective assessment data. Explain what assessments would be done and how data would be obtained. The care plan will include nursing diagnosis, written in proper format and listed in order of priority for care, planning and goal statements which must be attainable and measureable, nursing interventions with researched rationales (reference sources will be included for each rationale), and methods and expectations for evaluation including what would constitute the goals being met, partially met, or unmet. Please make your instructor aware of what patient scenario you have chosen by Fraiday, March 16/12. The care plan should be completed and handed in before midnight on Thursday, March 22/12
