NURSING PROCESS: ADPIE Chapters 15-19 NURS 515  Objectives 1. Define the steps of the nursing process 2. Describe the purpose and benefits of the nursing process 3. Describe the steps of the nursing process and their relation to the other steps in the nursing process  NURSING PROCESS  Assessment  Diagnosis (Problem Identification)  Planning  Implementation  Evaluation ASSESSMENT  Assessment ▪ Systematic and continuous collection, analysis, validation, and communication of patient data ▪ Data reflect how health functioning is enhanced by health promotion or compromised by illness/injury ▪ Database includes all the pertinent patient information collected by the nurse and other health care professionals ▪ The database enables the nurse to partner with patients to develop a comprehensive and effective care plan  Critical Thinking Activities Linked to Assessment ASSESSING DETECTING BIAS AND DISTINGUISHING MAKING JUDGMENTS IDENTIFYING SYSTEMATICALLY AND DETERMINING THE NORMAL FROM ABOUT THE ASSUMPTIONS AND COMPREHENSIVELY TO CREDIBILITY OF ABNORMAL FINDINGS SIGNIFICANCE OF DATA, INCONSISTENCIES, IDENTIFY NURSING AND INFORMATION AND IDENTIFYING THE DISTINGUISHING CHECKING ACCURACY MEDICAL CONCERNS SOURCES RISKS FOR ABNORMAL RELEVANT FROM AND RELIABILITY, AND FINDINGS IRRELEVANT DATA RECOGNIZING MISSING INFORMATION  Question #1 Tell whether the following statement is true or false. A nursing assessment duplicates a medical assessment by focusing on the patient’s health problem(s). A. True B.

You should not wait to make a final diagnosis if there are signs and symptoms indicating the need for immediate treatment  Recognizing significant data: Comparing data to Recognizing standards Recognizing Recognizing patterns or clusters Steps of Data Identifying Identifying strengths and current or potential problems Interpretation Identifying Identifying potential complications and Analysis Reaching Reaching conclusions Partnering Partnering with the patient and family  NO PROBLEM Reaching Conclusions POSSIBLE PROBLEM  Question #2 A nurse decides that a patient has a possible problem with high blood pressure. During which step of data interpretation would this most likely be determined? A. Recognizing significant data B. Recognizing patterns or clusters C. Identifying strengths and problems D. Reaching conclusions Planning Goal of Outcome Identification and Planning Step Identify and write Establish priorities expected patient outcomes Select evidence-based Communicate the nursing interventions nursing plan of care Outcome Identification and Planning  A Formal Care Plan Allows the Nurse to:  Individualize care that maximizes outcome achievement  Set priorities  Facilitate communication among nursing personnel and colleagues  Promote continuity of high-quality, cost-effective care  Coordinate care  Evaluate patient response to nursing care  Create a record used for evaluation, research, reimbursement, and legal reasons  Promote nurse’s professional development  Be familiar with standards and agency policies for setting priorities, identifying and Outcome recording expected patient outcomes, selecting evidence-based nursing interventions, and recording the care plan Identification, Remember that the goal of thoughtful, patient-centered practice is to keep the Planning, and patient and the patient’s interests and preferences central in every aspect of planning and outcome identification Clinical Keep the “big picture” in focus: What are Reasoning #1 the discharge goals for this patient, and how should this direct each shift’s interventions?  Trust clinical experience and judgment but be willing to ask for help when the Trust situation demands more than your qualifications and experience can provide; value collaborative practice Outcome Identification, Respect your clinical intuitions, but before establishing priorities, Planning, and Respect identifying outcomes, and selecting nursing interventions, be sure that research supports your plan Clinical Reasoning #2 Recognize your personal biases and Recognize keep an open mind  Standards to Apply to Outcome Identification and Planning  The law  Specialty professional organizations  The Joint Commission  The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)  Your employer  Three Elements of Comprehensive Planning Initial Ongoing Discharge  Developed by the nurse who Initial Planning performs the nursing history and physical assessment Addresses each problem listed in the prioritized problem list Identifies appropriate patient goals and related nursing care  Carried out by any nurse who interacts with patient Ongoing Planning Keeps the plan up to date, manages risk factors, promotes function States problem statements more clearly Develops new problem statements Makes outcomes more realistic and develops new outcomes as needed Identifies nursing interventions to accomplish patient goals  Discharge Planning Uses teaching and counseling skills Carried out by the Begins when the effectively to ensure nurse who worked most patient is admitted for that home care closely with the patient treatment behaviors are performed competently  Question #3 Which nursing action would most likely occur during the ongoing planning stage of the comprehensive care plan? A. The nurse collects new data and uses them to update the plan and resolve health problems B. The nurse uses teaching and counseling skills to help the patient carry out self-care behaviors at home C. The nurse who performs the admission nursing history develops a patient care plan D. The nurse consults standardized care plans to identify patient problems, outcomes, and interventions  Establishing Priorities  Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs  Patient preference  Anticipation of future problems  Critical thinking/clinical reasoning and judgment  Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs  Physiologic needs  Safety needs  Love and belonging needs  Self-esteem needs  Self-actualization needs  What problems need immediate Clinical attention and which ones can wait? Reasoning and Establishing Which problems are the responsibility of the nurse and Priorities #1 which need to be referred to someone else? Which problems can be dealt with by using standard plans (e.g., critical paths, standards of care)? Which problems are not covered by protocols or standard plans but must be addressed to ensure a safe hospital stay and timely discharge?  Have changes in the way the patient is Have changes in the responding to health Clinical patient’s health status influenced the priority of nursing diagnoses/ problems? and illness or the care plan affected those nursing diagnoses/ problems that can be realistically Reasoning and addressed?

A. Disturbed personal identity B. Impaired gas exchange C. Risk for powerlessness D.

The patient is a 71-year-old man who underwent a surgical repair of a fractured hip. As you receive a report from the post anesthesia recovery unit, you learn that his medical history includes hypertension, 40 pack-years of  smoking, and COPD. His surgical repair was successful but complicated by excessive bleeding, and he is currently receiving a blood. His significant other has recently passed away, and he has no other family close by. He lives alone and receives Meals on Wheels three times each week.  a. Based on the relevant cues provided, what general priorities would you expect to establish from this information?  b. What might you identify as expected patient outcomes in this case?  c. What nurse-initiated interventions may be appropriate for this patient?  d. What are the challenges related to developing a formal care plan? References  References  Taylor, C., Lillis, C., LeMone, P., & Lynn, P. (2023).
