Recovery Focused Mental Health Care Plan for Marie, NURS2098

This assignment is a Recovery Focused Nursing Care Plan for a patient named Marie, a 31-year-old woman experiencing postpartum depression. The plan addresses Marie's issues, including lack of confidence, social isolation, and poor health. The plan identifies three consumer priorities, each with specific goals, nursing interventions, and expected outcomes. Interventions include engaging Marie in activities, providing support, and encouraging her to reconnect with her daily living activities. The care plan emphasizes Marie's strengths, such as her willingness to care for her daughter and her desire to live a healthy life. The plan also includes HONOS scores, timeframes for intervention, and methods for evaluating progress. The plan addresses Marie's challenges with her mental behavior, lack of appetite, and weight loss. It aims to help Marie regain her self-confidence, reconnect with her daily activities, and improve her overall health and well-being.
