Gordon's Functional Health Patterns

Why bother looking up Gordon?
CI said careplans based off Gordon. From what I've seen so far (not much), it's only loosely based on Gordon. But it's relevant so why not learn more.

Btw...
Ask an experienced nurse about care plan, and she can definitely help. Ask about nursing diagnosis...and maybe not. LOL.
