Study Notes
Nursing Process
- Nursing Process is a systematic and dynamic method used to provide individualized care to patients.
Phases of Nursing Process
- Consists of five distinct phases: Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADPIE).
Assessment
- First step of the nursing process that collects data.
- Data collection methods: interview, physical examination, review of medical records, and lab reports.
- Goal is to gather relevant information from sources: patient, family members, healthcare team, and medical records.
- Cues: data obtained through senses (e.g. patient coughing and wheezing).
- Inference: interpretation of the cues (e.g. difficulty breathing).
- Data types: subjective (verbal descriptions) and objective (observations or measurements).
Diagnosis
- Analyzes the collected data to identify patient's actual or potential health problem.
- NANDA diagnosis is not a medical diagnosis, but an actual nursing diagnosis that identifies existing health problems or conditions.
- Three types of nursing diagnosis: actual, risk, and wellness.
Planning
- Involves setting goals to address the problem once diagnosis is identified.
- Collaborates with patient and healthcare team to develop plan of care.
- Plan of care should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART).
Implementation
- Puts the plan of care into action by implementing interventions and strategies.
- Types of nursing interventions: independent, dependent, and collaborative.
- Examples of implementation: providing direct patient care, administering medications, performing treatments, teaching patients and families, and coordinating care with other healthcare providers.
- Handoff reporting: transferring essential information from one nurse to the next during transition of care.
- Direct care: treatments performed through interactions with patients.
- Indirect care: performed away from a patient (e.g. safety and infection control).
Evaluation
- Evaluates the patient's response to interventions and the effectiveness of the plan of care.
- Determines whether goals have been achieved.
