When it comes to the most important things to plan for when looking at the list and for what nurses should think ahead for are managing a home, planning leisure activities, and then having a preperation plan for retirement. A nurse is responsible for a lot of things when it comes to their patients especially when it comes to those who have to have certain long term care and accomodations provided. Managing a home is important because the person needs to make sure that their living quarters are well cared for.
Leisure activities are good for the mind and soul and they are definitely good for a person under medical assistance and care. Then planning for retirement means that there is a long term plan to ensure the person's welfare and future. When a person has to go under such care it is not that bad as long as there is a nurse that has a solid care plan in front of them.
