levels can result in benefits that can be described as being far greater than the sum of their parts. Nursing Diagnoses and Rationale for Including in the Program
The exploratory needs assessment identified at least five nursing diagnoses that the program will directly address: * Proper use of medication; * Importance of medication;
and * Symptoms of stroke or heart attack. A primary goal is that of enhancing prevention, but as stated, the aggregate by definition
