    Study Notes

    Overview of the Nursing Process

    • The nursing process consists of five components: Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADPIE).
    • Assessment involves collecting data from the client, including physical assessments, medical history, lab results, and information from other healthcare professionals.
    • Nursing diagnoses are determined after analyzing the collected data and identifying actual or potential health problems that can be addressed through nursing interventions.
    • The NANDA-I diagnosis list, updated every two years, is used to guide nursing diagnoses based on evidence-based practices.
    • The RN is responsible for analyzing data and identifying health problems, while the LPN assists by collecting data.
    • Planning involves setting goals for the client and creating a care plan that includes nursing interventions to achieve those goals.
    • Goals can be short-term (achievable within hours, days, or weeks) or long-term (lasting impact of illness or disease).
    • SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely.
    • Implementation is the phase where the established care plan is put into action, with nursing interventions performed and documented.
    • Nursing interventions can be independent (nursing orders) or dependent (prescribed orders generated by a healthcare provider).
    • Direct care interventions include physical interventions, counseling, and education, while indirect care involves delegation and supervision.
    • Evaluation involves determining the client's progress towards goal achievement and the effectiveness of the nursing care plan. If a goal is not met, a new care plan must be generated.
