ABSTRACT
In these days of concern for the growing costs of medical care it is an opportune moment to promote the importance of nurses as health care professionals and the roles that they play. This article presents a structural care plan for specific clinical situations regarding lens surgery with the goal of both guaranteeing quality nursing care and a method to evaluate costs. Lens surgery, a equently performed operation in the hospital, is used as an example to evaluate criteria of adequate service and efficiency. This method is based upon L.J. Caronito s bifocal model of clinical nursing.
