PNUR124 WEEK 1 STUDY GUIDE1. What is the Nursing Process and 11-Needs Assessment Guide?
The Nursing Process is a 5 step clinical
decision-making approach
Nurses apply the nursing process as a
critical thinking competency when
delivering patient care.
The purpose of the nursing process is to
assist nurses in identifying and treating
patients' health-related concerns and
help patients attain agreed-upon health
outcomes
When you use the nursing process, you
identify a patient's health-related
concerns, clearly define a nursing diagnosis or collaborative problem, determine
priorities of care, and set goals and expected outcomes of care.
Then you develop and communicate a plan of care, perform nursing interventions,
and evaluate the effects of your care. Involving your patient in each step of the
nursing process helps ensure that care is patient centered.
As you become more competent in using the nursing process, you will be able to
focus on multiple problems or diagnoses and move back and forth between steps
when considering all the information available to you about a patient's concerns.
