Care Plan Help

You all should check out http://allnurses.com/ You can find humor pages and all kinds of resources ( there are some funny clinical comics for us beginners there), for nurses as well as nursing students (we need a laugh). There is a help forum for students to post questions regarding problems they are haveing, or to ask for help or advice from nurses or fellow students . I was reading from the various posts that came in response to a student asking for help with care plan writing and found a neat mnemonic to remember. (I added the 's after the M). S 'n' M's Excites Frank. It stands for, Safety, Nutrition, Maslow's, Mobility, Elimination, Fluids. Made up by a psych nurse. The explanations that follow this mnemonic is very good advice for careplan writing. If you want to see it, go here...
