D) Standards of client care

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A "Care Map" is a graphic depiction of the critical path for a homogenous group of clients or patients. It identifies expected client/family and staff behaviors against a timeline for a case-type or otherwise defined homogenous population, which makes it the best choice for this question. A critical path is a tool for project management, not healthcare planning. A multidisciplinary action plan is a team plan involving individuals with different specialties, not a graphic depiction. Standards of client care are general guidelines for care, not a specific tool for planning a care path for a homogenous group of clients.
