There are two types of care plans traditional care plan and standardized care plan.
TRADITIONAL CARE PLAN : written for each client forms vary from agency to agency according to the client needs and departments usually have three columns, one for nursing dx, a second fro expected outcomes, and a third for nursing interventions.
STANDARDIZED CARE PLAN: developed to save documentation time, plans may be based on institution's standard of practice, helping to provide a high quality of nursing care. Standardized plans must be individualized by the nurse in order to adequately address individual client needs.

THERE IS ALSO:
-INFORMAL CARE PLAN: EXISITS IN THE NURSES MIND.
-FORMAL CARE PLAN: WRITTEN OR COMPUTERIZED GUIDE THAT ORGANIZES INFO ABOUT THE CLIENTS CARE.
-INDIVIDUALIZED CARE PLAN: TAILORED TO MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF A SPECIFIC CLIENT.
MY INFO CAME FROM PG. 294
Thanks Michelle, the individualized care plan falls under the traditional care plan-advantage is tailored to meet the unique needs of a specific client not addressed by standardized plan.
formal care plan is a type of standardized care plan...........the advantage to a formal plan is it provides for continuity of care. disadvantage is plan for groups of clients with common needs does not take individual needs into consideration.
