,Steps of the nursing process:
• Assessment
• Diagnosis
• Outcome identification
• Planning
• Implementation
• Evaluation

Nursing process – Assessment:
• Collecting of data from multiple sources
• review of clinical record
• health history
• physical examination
• functional assessment
• cultural and spiritual assessment

Assessment – the starting point:
• subjective data – what patient says about themselves during history taking.
• Objective data – observed when inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating
patient during physical examination.

Nursing process- diagnosis:
• Cluster data that seem to be associated in some way
• Validate data, confirm accuracy
• Look for gaps in your information
• Interpret data and identify problems
• Document the diagnosis

Nursing process- outcome identification
• Identify expected outcomes related to patient individualization
• Ensure outcomes have the SMART components
• Specific short term and long term goal measurement criteria

S – SPECIFIC

M – MEASURABLE

, A – ATTAINABLE
R – RELEVANT
T – TIME BOUND
Nursing process – planning:
• Establishing priorities based on meeting identified patient care goals
• Develop outcomes and set time frames for meeting proposed outcome
• Identify relevant interventions and utilize interdisciplinary health care team members in
the care planning process for the patient
• Document plan of care

Nursing process – evaluation:
• Refer to established outcomes
• Evaluate individuals condition and compare actual outcomes with expect outcomes
• If outcome reached, does something else need to be done or does client no longer have
this diagnosis
• If failure, identify reasons for not achieving expected outcomes
• Take corrective action to modify plan of care
• Document evaluation in plan of care
Priority problems level
• First level priority – emergent life threatening and immediate
• Second level priority – next in urgency, requiring attention so as to avoid further
deterioration
• Third level priority – important to patient’s health but can be addressed after more
urgent problems are addressed
Evidence – based clinical decision making:

• Best evidence from critical review of search literature
• The providers clinical expertise
• Patient preferences and values
• Physical examination and assessment of patient

Health promotion/prevention
• Primary – prevents health problems (e.g. safety glasses, vaccines, exercise)
