Factors influencing the documentation of care.
Nursing care plans should provide clear evidence of the quality of patient care provided. A study of a care plan used in a coronary care unit found that nurses were critical of the plan's format. Nurses need adequate education on the use of the chosen care plan and an understanding of the nursing model on which it is based.
