This assignment tested each groups skills in treatment planning. Each group member was in charge of gathering information and being that I was selected group leader, I was in charge of combining everything and creating the treatment plan in accordance with the guidelines below. This document will allow you to follow my critical thinking skills used in creating a treatment plan for a patient based on age, medication, and conditions.
