Paper Summary:

The value of Ram is very visible in a clinical setting. RAM relies on the personal senses of a nurse. The nurse provides direction in achieving the goal-oriented treatment outcome of the patient in a positive manner. The quality of patient care is heightened and proponents of RAM believe this increase in care is due to the comprehensiveness of assessment and treatment planning. RAM provides structure, focus, organization, directed thinking and specific actions in achieving the desired patient outcome. RAM is an efficient and effective way to practice nursing.
