Study Notes
Nursing Process
- The nursing process is a systematic approach to patient care that involves five steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Assessment
- Involves gathering data about a patient's current health status and any potential problems.
Diagnosis
- Focuses on identifying patient problems
- There are two types of problems:
- Nursing Diagnoses: Actual or potential health problems that nurses can manage through independent interventions.
- Collaborative Problems: Physiologic complications for which nurses need to monitor for changes and work with other members of the healthcare team to intervene.
Planning
- Developing goals and a comprehensive care plan to address diagnosed problems and achieve desired patient outcomes.
- Key steps in planning:
- Prioritize problems
- Formulate goals and desired outcomes
- Select nursing interventions
- Write nursing interventions
Implementation
- Carrying out the care plan through nursing interventions.
Evaluation
- Determining the patient's response to interventions and the extent to which the desired outcomes have been achieved.
- Evaluation can lead to continuing, modifying, or terminating the care plan.
Flow of the Nursing Process
- The nursing process is a cyclical process where the evaluation step can lead back to any of the previous steps, depending on the patient's needs.
