title: Care-planning in long term care.
abstract: A comprehensive nursing care plan was revised to streamline documentation within a long-term care environment, often a "paper tiger" arena. The care plan guides certified nursing assistants to prevent and identify resident problems while delivering safe care. Not only are separate care protocols identified, but the care plan explains the specific nursing interventions to alleviate the residents' concerns or problems.
