The nursing care plan outlines three expected outcomes for a patient with ineffective coping skills related to substance abuse. The first outcome is that the patient will be able to verbalize adaptive coping mechanisms instead of substance abuse within two days. The second is that the patient will demonstrate adaptive coping mechanisms within five days. The third is that the patient will report decreased physical symptoms of stress within five days. The plan lists interventions and rationales for each outcome, including exploring alternative coping strategies, encouraging the expression of emotions, and providing social support and activities.
