    Study Notes

    Nursing Process Overview

    • The nursing process is a systematic, critical thinking approach used by nurses to provide patient-centered care.
    • It's a cyclical process involving five key steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
    • The process ensures individualized care tailored to patient needs and preferences.
    • This framework helps nurses organize and deliver quality care, improving patient outcomes.

    Steps of the Nursing Process

    • Assessment: The systematic collection, organization, validation, and documentation of patient data. It is the first step in the nursing process, providing the foundation for all subsequent actions.
      • Types of assessments include initial, focused, emergency, and time-lapsed assessments, each with specific purposes.
      • Methods used for assessment include direct observation (of behavior, appearance, environment), indirect observation (of medical records, diagnostic tests), and interviews (with patient, family, or significant others). Physical examinations (inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation) and diagnostic tests help collect objective data.
      • Data collected can be categorized into subjective data (feelings, beliefs) and objective data (measurable facts). 
    • Diagnosis: A clinical judgment about the patient's response to actual or potential health conditions/life processes. It differentiates from a medical diagnosis, focusing on patient responses rather than diseases.
      • Nursing diagnoses guides the development of the nursing care plan.
      • Components of a nursing diagnosis include a problem statement, etiology/related factors, and defining characteristics.
      • Types of nursing diagnoses include actual, risk, and wellness diagnoses.
    • Planning: Involves developing a comprehensive plan of care to address the patient's identified needs and achieve desired outcomes.
      • Prioritizing patient needs using frameworks like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and the ABCDE principle (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability). SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) are crucial for setting patient-centered goals.
    • Implementation: The action phase of the nursing process, translating diagnoses and goals into concrete actions. It utilizes evidence-based practice, clinical expertise and patient preferences to select and implement interventions. Interventions are documented.
      • Interventions need to be evidence-based, patient-centered, realistic, and achievable, and collaborative.
    • Evaluation: The final step, involving collecting data, comparing it to expected outcomes, and drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of the nursing interventions.
      • Methods of evaluation include observation, interviews, physical examinations, diagnostic tests, review of medical records, and patient self-report.

    Importance of the Nursing Process

    • Identifies and addresses patient needs: Systematic assessment helps identify and address patient needs and issues.
    • Develops individualized care plans: Tailoring care plans to the needs of each patient.
    • Promotes patient safety: Structured approach minimizes errors and improves patient safety.
    • Improves communication: Facilitates communication between healthcare team members, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.

    Case Study Example

    • Patient Name: Mr. Jones (72-year-old male)
    • Diagnosis: Pneumonia
    • Subjective Data: Mr. Jones complained of shortness of breath, productive cough with green sputum, fever, fatigue, decreased appetite, and difficulty sleeping. He denied recent travel or exposure to sick individuals. His medical history includes hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and osteoarthritis. Medications include Acetaminophen, Lisinopril, Metformin. Allergies include Penicillin.
    • Objective Data: Vital signs, physical exam, lab results, and chest X-ray showed signs of pneumonia.
    • Nursing Diagnoses: Ineffective airway clearance, impaired gas exchange, activity intolerance, and risk for imbalanced nutrition less than body requirements.
    • Goals: The patient would show effective airway clearance, maintain an SpO2 ≥ 92%, participate in ADLs with minimal fatigue, and increase nutritional intake.
    • Interventions: These could include deep breathing exercises, coughing techniques, medication administration, chest physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, assistance with ADLs, and nutritional counseling.
    • Evaluation: Reassess the patient's progress toward achieving the established goals and modifying the care plan as needed.
