Introduction to the Nursing Process framework:


assessment/ data Collection of information about pt9s present health (subjective data what
collection the pt states) (objective data what the nurse9s or vital signs)


analysis/data Using critical thinking skills (a dx reasoning process) to identify pt9s
collection health statuses or problems


Planning Nurses must establish priorities and optimal outcomes of care they can
readily measure and evaluate. Establish priorities and outcomes of pt
care then direct nurses in selecting interventions to include in a plan of
care to promote, maintain or restore health


Implementation Nurses perform nursing actions, delegate tasks, supervise other health
care staff and document the care and pt responses


Evaluation Nurses evaluate pt9s responses to nursing interventions and form a
clinical judgment about the extent to which pt have met the goals and
outcomes



What guides decision-making: Clinical decision making for nurses is influenced by several
factors including experience, knowledge, environment, team, supervisor support, and
professionalism.
