Which of the following is NOT a function of generating solutions in accordance with the CJMM?

• A. Consider patient care options
• B. Connect needs to a course of action
• C. Identify appropriate nursing interventions
• D. Document the plan of care

Answer: (D)

Generating solutions in the CJMM focuses on turning identified patient needs into concrete, actionable options. It involves exploring care options, linking those needs to a possible course of action, and naming the specific nursing interventions that could address the situation. This step is about deciding what could be done and which interventions would be appropriate.

Documenting the plan of care, while essential to patient records and communication, is a separate activity that occurs after the plan is finalized. It records and communicates what has been chosen and how care will be carried out, rather than generating those options itself. So, the act of documenting the plan does not belong to the generating solutions phase; it follows the selection of interventions and the formulation of the plan.
