Care plans are central to the nursing process. They are documents that outline in detail the care to be provided to a patient. For the student nurse, preparing and writing a care plan can be very time consuming and complicated.
There are many sites and reference books that provide nursing care plan templates. Templates are useful in providing an outline for a starting point. They can be compared to the blueprints to building a house. Also useful for the builder (and to student nurses) are examples of the finished product.
