Study Notes
Nursing Process
- The nursing process is a systematic, rational method of planning and providing individualized nursing care, focusing on the client's responses to health concerns or illnesses and their ability to manage healthcare needs.
Assessing
- Assessing is a continuous process that involves collecting, organizing, validating, and documenting data about the client's response to health concerns or illnesses.
- It establishes a database for planning, implementing, and evaluating client care.
Types of Assessments
- There are four types of assessments: initial nursing assessment, problem-focused assessment, emergency assessment, and time-lapsed reassessment.
- Assessments vary in purpose, timing, time available, and client status.
Sources of Data
- The client is usually the primary source of data, unless they are too ill, young, or confused to communicate clearly.
- Secondary sources of data include family members, friends, caregivers, client records (e.g., medical history, physical examination), laboratory records, and healthcare professionals.
Data Collection Methods
- Observing: gathering data using the senses (e.g., skin color, body odors, lung or heart sounds, skin temperature).
- Interviewing: a planned conversation with a purpose to gather or give information, which can be directive (structured) or nondirective (unstructured).
Types of Interview Questions
- Closed questions: restrictive, requiring short, factual answers (e.g., "What medication did you take?").
- Open-ended questions: inviting clients to elaborate, explore, or illustrate their thoughts or feelings (e.g., "How have you been feeling lately?").
- Neutral questions: open-ended, non-directive, and allowing clients to answer freely (e.g., "How do you feel?").
- Leading questions: closed, directive, and influencing clients' answers (e.g., "You're stressed about surgery tomorrow, aren't you?").
Planning and Conducting an Interview
- Consider time, place, seating arrangements, distance, and language when planning an interview.
- Stages of an interview: opening (establishing rapport), body (developing), and closing.
Examining (Physical Examination)
- A systematic, organized examination carried out in a head-to-toe approach or a body systems approach.
Organizing Data
- Data is organized systematically using written or electronic formats, often structured around conceptual models or frameworks.
- Examples of conceptual models/frameworks include:
- Nursing models: Gordon's functional health patterns (11 categories), Orem's self-care model, Roy's Adaptation Model.
- Non-nursing models: Body Systems Model, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
Gordon's Functional Health Patterns
- A framework of 11 functional health patterns:
- Health perception and management
- Nutritional/metabolic
- Elimination
- Activity
- Sleep
- Cognitive
- Self-perception and concept
- Role relationship
- Sexuality
- Coping and stress
- Value-belief systems
