1... Once formulated, the nurse sends the plan of care back to the physician for review and approval. Once this approval is given, the nurse should check the plan with each visit, discuss the plan with the patient and family, and possibly place a copy in the patient’s home, if desired. Although the nurse may carry the form during the visits, it is not required and thus is not the most correct answer. The plan of care may be placed in the medical record after discharge from services but that will be based upon agency policy.
