Personal Goals And The Care Plan

Personal Goals and the Care Plan When planning the course of action to be taken towards improving Lillian’s overall health, there were many aspects that had to be considered. For one, it was decided that two perspectives must be employed into Lillian’s care so that the nurse is able to provide her with numerous ideas as to how she can improve her health. These perspectives would be referred to as the Canadian and Rwandan perspectives as the citizens of these countries will be developing them. By implanting these perspectives, the nurse will thereby be able to begin working with Lillian as well as the rest of her family in order to complete a proper assessment of each individual and their needs, thus allowing for the generation of specific

One norm that was implemented by both the Rwandan and Canadian perspective was the idea of strength-based care.

Moreover, I believe that if the Rwandan perspective had a similar view as to the importance of the nurse addressing these indirect factors, specifically regarding the development of coping mechanisms, the techniques implemented would be quite similar to that of the Canadian perspective, thus allowing for Lillian’s health to be further
