Another concept that never grows old is the nursing process which was adapted from the world of science. The future of nursing education will likely always rely upon this theory as a basis for patient focused care.
Assessment: Collection and analysis of client data is the first step to delivery of nursing care. It includes physiological datat, psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, adn life-style factors.
Diagnosis: The nursing diagnosis reflects the nurse's clinical judgment in response to the client's actual or potential health conditions or needs. It is the basis for the nurse's plan of care.
Outcomes/Planning: After the assessment and diagnosis are completed and identified, the nurse sets measurable and achievable short- adn long-range goals for theis patient that might include moving from bed to chari at set time intervals, maintaining adequate nutrition by eating more frequent meals, resolving conflict through counseling, or managing pain through adequtate medication.
Implementation: Nursing care is delivered according to the plan of care and care is documented in the client record all for continuity of care.
Evaluation: The client's respose to care is continuously evaluated and the plan of care modified.

Hi Ann Lee,
ReplyDeleteLike you, I am a great believer of incorporating, teaching, and using nursing process for my practice. I even go further to say that a person can easily incorporate the nursing process in daily life and any other event in life. Most of us like to jump into conclusion by immediately want to use interventions or evaluate. Using nursing process allows us to assess, diagnose, have a goal, then intervene, and finally evaluate the process. If it is working, let’s keep it, if it is not, let’s follow the process again.
Thanks for suggesting my favorite topic, nursing process.

Hello Zahra, I've found the nursing process helpful in many issues with life...even legal matters. I recently assisted my son with getting one false accusation from his x wife dismissed and am preparing to assist with preparing his motion to dismiss another issue with a court date in a couple of weeks. The scientific approach that the nursing process came from is the basis for the logic used in many other professions as well.
