Which of the following is a format of care plans?

• A. Computerized Care Plan
• B. Concept Map Care Plan
• C. Multidisciplinary Care Plans
• D. Student Care Plans

Answer: (C)

Care plans come in formats that show how care is organized and who is involved. A multidisciplinary care plan is the format that brings together professionals from different disciplines—nurses, physicians, therapists, social workers—so a single, coordinated plan results in shared goals, consistent interventions, and clear responsibilities. This collaborative approach ensures the plan addresses all dimensions of the patient's needs and promotes continuity of care across shifts and settings. Other options describe either the tool used to record the plan (computerized), a visual/layout method for thinking about care (concept map), or a specific audience (student care plans). Those are not the standard format for organizing and delivering an integrated plan across a care team in clinical practice.
