Collecting and documenting DATA about thePatient and thePatient’s Health condition is a
critical step before any drugs are given. Information regarding the present illness, any signs and
symptoms, review of medical records, drug history, and vital signs are needed before drugs are
given. Deciding on special equipment that will be needed to give thePatient’s drug is part of the
planning phase of the NURsing process. Monitoring thePatient for his response to given drug is
part of the evaluation stage of the NURsing process. Reviewing the NURsing care plan to verify
that it is being followed accurately is part of the implementation stage of the NURsing process.

Reports from thePatient orPatient’s caregiver are considered subjective DATA. Symptoms such
as pain, nausea, or dizziness are examples of symptoms that cannot be “seen” and are DATA
collected from thePatient, caregiver, or others. Laboratory values, ECG results, or vital sign
DATA from a medical chart are examples of objective DATA.

of degree of alcohol consumption, and aPatient’s pain rating.
