When interacting with individuals, there are certain nursing standards and competencies that the ambulatory care nurse must complete. An assessment must be completed so that a proper care plan can be created to best meet the individual's needs. Next, the diagnosis must be identified, then the outcome identification is made. This should involve the patient, family, and healthcare team in formulating measurable expected outcomes. The planning step should include the patient, family, or caregivers as appropriate and the healthcare team in making shared decisions about prioritizing plans and strategies. It should also consider the economic impact of the plan on the patient and family resources. While coordinating care, the nurse should educate the patient and caregivers about optimal disease management. It would be inappropriate to merely inform the individual of what the primary care provider wants the individual to do. The individual is to have a voice in the treatment plan.
