    Study Notes

    Overview of Nursing Process Components and Documentation in Healthcare

    • Nursing process consists of five components: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
    • Assessment includes gathering client data from primary and secondary sources, such as physical assessments, physician's history, lab results, and information from other health personnel.
    • Nursing diagnosis involves analyzing data to identify actual or potential health problems that can be addressed through nursing interventions.
    • NANDA-I provides a list of nursing diagnoses that are updated based on evidence-based practices.
    • Planning involves setting goals for client care and developing nursing interventions to achieve those goals.
    • Goals can be short-term or long-term and should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely (SMART).
    • Implementation is the phase where the established care plan is put into action, including both independent and dependent nursing interventions.
    • Evaluation is the process of determining the client's progress toward goal achievement and the effectiveness of the nursing care plan.
    • Physical assessment is a crucial part of data collection, including comprehensive assessments, focused assessments, and initial head-to-toe shift assessments.
    • LPNs assist with physical assessments by collecting and reporting patient data and performing indirect patient care.
    • Physical assessment techniques include inspection, auscultation, palpation, percussion, and olfaction.
    • Vital signs are important indicators of a patient's overall condition and provide baseline measurements for monitoring changes.
