Before changing a client's plan of care based on a change in assessment data, the nurse should first ensure that the new data are complete, accurate, and require a change in the care plan. Asking how difficult it will be to change the care plan and whether the primary medical provider will agree with the need to alter the care plan is important but not as essential as ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the new data and whether a change in the care plan is necessary.
