    NURSING

    DIAGNOSIS(NANDA

    APPROVED)

    EXPECTED

    OUTCOME(Measurable Goal)

    NURSING INTERVENTIONS(What do you plan to do?)

    THREE interventions for short

    term AND long term.

    RATIONALE(Why are you doing

    this?) (Must give

    references.)

    EVALUATION

    (Be specific!)

    Risk for suicide

    related to

    feelings of

    helplessness

    and feelings of

    low self worth

    as evidenced

    by expression

    that she wants

    to die and past

    suicide

    attempt.

    Short term: The

    patient will be free

    from harm for the

    remainder of the

    shift.

    Long term: The

    patient will be able

    to identify three

    positive aspects

    about herself by

    discharge.

    1) Initiate a no self-harm contract,

    and monitor the patient frequently.

    2) Spend time with the patient.

    3) Encourage the patient to focus

    on strengths and accomplishments.

    + three

    interventions/rationales for

    long term goal.

    1) A contract getsthe subject out in the

    open and places some

    of the responsibility for

    the clients safety with

    the client (Townsend,

    2008, p. 119).2) Spending time

    with the patient

    provides a feeling of

    safety and conveys

    that you believe the

    patient is a

    worthwhile person

    (Townsend, 2008).3) This will minimize

    negative ruminations

    about the past and

    perceived failures

    Videbeck, 2011).

    SHORT TERM: WHAT DID

    YOU SEE? E.g.,

    Patient was free harm

    throughout the shift on (day

    you were there).

    LONG TERM: WHAT

    WOULD YOU HOPE TO

    SEE? E.g.,

    Patient stated that she is a

    good mother, a loyal friend,

    and an honest person.
