1. The three important ideas that must be linked together during clinical planning are
Assist patient to achieve desired outcomes -- promote wellness - prevent disease and illness - restore health - and facilitate coping with altered functioning.
An ordered sequence of activities. Each activity depends on the accuracy of the previous activity - and influences the actions that follow it.
Clear - precise - specific - accurate - relevant - plausible - consistent - logical - deep - broad - complete - significant - adequate (for the purpose) - and fair.
