Brief Commentary

Rationale of care plan developed
The rationale of this study is that Moyra need an extensive care plan to develop in order to
make her life normal and for leading an independent life. Moyra is having a positive energy in
her which is needed to be exploited in the right way and in the right direction so that she
could be able to improve the quality of life in the future. The care plan which is developed for
addressing the issues and the challenges she has been facing is to be monitored on a weekly
basis. The care plan developed will help in understanding the complex situation she has been
experiencing in her daily life and how she might be coping with her daily challenges which
are required to be mitigated fruitfully. She has been mentally ill and for recovering from the
mental state of illness, there is an extensive and robust care plan to be developed by the GP.
The care plan should be having the proper planning of the activities which she would be
performing in her daily life. The care plan will consist of how well she has been recovered
from the mental state of illness and what are the challenges she has been facing for the last 6
months or so will be identified. The care plan will also identify and evaluate the risks which
might provide harm to Moyra now as well in the future.
Strengths and limitations of the care plan
The strengths of the care plan which has been developed by the GP has been given below
The care plan which is made by the GP has the strength of focusing only one patient Moyra
who is suffering from the mental health issue. The care plan which is developed will help in
providing the specific care and the identification of the specific need for the client Moyra
only. It will follow the list of the activities which Moyra does it on a daily basis. The care
plan will also include the specifications of any alcohol and drug consumption information to
be there in this care plan. This will help in communicating and organizing the actions needed
for Moyra to be able to lead a normal life in the future.
The limitations of the care plan developed by GP has been given below
The main limitation which the care plan has it is that this care plan does not have any
information on the type of treatment and the medications she has been taking it. There is no
information on any kind of diagnosis she might have in the past or not. The care plan is also
not having the type of changes Moyra has experienced in her life. The care plan does not have

the past history of her husband John who was with her for a long period of time. This care
plan also has the limitation of how it will be reviewed on a daily basis.
Discussion of a strategy promoting collaboration in practice
It is important that Moyra should be providing the right kind of information and
communicates effectively with the GP and with her husband John. This will help in
understanding the issues she has been facing in her life and improve her psychologically. She
is also in need of collaborating with her good friends living in the community where she has
been living and help her to go back to her normal routine life.
