Use as many lines, paragraphs, or bullet points as needed to comprehensively document the nursing care plan. Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, or evaluation—use only the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note as a reference for the information included in your note. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note, do not state that the information has not been explicitly mentioned in your output—just leave the relevant placeholder blank or omit it completely.)
