Which CJMM step involves developing a plan of care, including outcomes and potential interventions?

• A. Recognizing Cues
• B. Analyzing Cues
• C. Prioritizing Hypotheses
• D. Generating Solutions

Answer: (D)

Generating solutions is the step that moves from identifying what’s going on to taking action. It involves turning the identified problems or hypotheses into a concrete plan of care with clear outcomes and the interventions needed to achieve them. In this phase you specify measurable goals (what success looks like, by when) and outline the actions to take—nursing actions, treatments, monitoring, patient education, and referrals—to reach those goals. This is where care is planned and evaluated, not just where data are gathered or interpreted. For example, if the prioritized issue is risk for impaired tissue perfusion, the plan would set outcomes such as improved perfusion indicators within a certain timeframe and include interventions like position changes if appropriate, monitoring pulses and capillary refill, administering prescribed therapies, and educating the patient about signs to report. The earlier steps focus on noticing data, making sense of it, and deciding what problems exist, while generating solutions builds the actionable plan to address those problems.
