What is required by the health care team to identify the needs of a patient and to design care to meet those needs?

  • A. The Kardex
  • B. The health care provider's order sheet
  • C. An individualized care plan
  • D. The nurse's notes
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: An individualized care plan involves all health care workers and outlines care to meet the needs of the individual patient. The Kardex, health care provider's order sheet, and nurse's notes do not identify the needs of the patient nor are they designed to assist all members of the health care team to meet those needs.
