Hello: I was assigned to do a nursing care plan on a patient (I am a student nurse) who would like to take a regular vitamin rather than a vitamin that includes folic acid. I have 2 care plan books & none seem to have any supporting evidence of any good nursing diagnoses or plans of care in this instance. Knowledge deficit would be one diagnosis. I searched the net for help & came up with nothing. I was wondering if any of the nurses out there had any info or tips to get me started right! Thanks!

Muggs, here are some links that has information about nursing care plan. Good luck in the nursing field.
