Before you start:
• Carefully read all the assessment details with which you have been provided.
How you and Mark identified the care plan priorities
1. Re-read all the information you have been given making notes about all of
Mark’s needs, there will be many.
2. Now put each of these needs in order of priority, it might help you to prioritise
needs by thinking about
a. How much risk is there to Mark if this need is not addressed?
b. How can you use e.g. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to help you place
needs in order from physiological needs to higher order needs?
c. How you might you use the therapeutic relationship to enable you to work
collaboratively with Mark?
d. How important is it to recognise Mark’s strengths and his support
networks?
3. Now write around 500 words about how you prioritised Marks needs
Now look at the first need you have identified and answer the following:
• What is Mark’s actual problem in relation to this need and how might you agree this with Mark
• What is the agreed goal between Mark and you
• What interventions are you and Mark going to do to solve this problem;
remember there may be several of these
• How will Mark and you evaluate the interventions, how will you know when
the problem is improved or solved
Now repeat this for the second and third need that you have identified
