Abstract
Purpose Effective individual care plans need to include identification of nursing problems. This study was
conducted to identify nursing problems and to compare nursing problems identified by nurses with those identified
through the Resident Assessment Protocols (RAPs) from the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI). Methods
Data were collected from 307 residents in 4 nursing homes. The results of the comprehensive assessment using
the Resident Assessment Instrument Minimum Data Set 2.0 version (MDS 2.0) were compared with data from
questionnaires on nursing problems which were completed by nurses working in the 4 nursing homes. Resident
Assessment Protocols (RAPs) were analyzed using the RAI manual algorithms. Results The average number
of problems identified by RAI-FC was 8.0±2.83 compared to 4.5±2.37 identified by the nurses. The problems most
frequently not detected by the nurses were dehydration/fluid maintenance (92.9%), followed by urinary
incontinence and indwelling catheter (91.9%), pressure ulcer (83.8%), visual function (83.3%), and delirium
(76.2%). Conclusion The results indicate a need for a comprehensive need assessment instrument for individual
care plans, development of a manual for nursing residents in nursing homes, and further education of nurses about
the unique nursing problems in this population.
