Nursing ProcessNursing Process
“To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. In you, I trust ,
Oh my God.”Psalm 25:1
NURSING PROCESS
• systematic, rational method of planning and providing individualized nursing care
• Is a problem-solving framework for planning and delivering nursing care to patients and their families
NURSING PROCESS
NURSING PROCESS• A way of thinking as a nurse.• A framework of interrelated activities
resulting in competent nursing care.• Dynamic and cyclical in nature.• A scientific, problem-oriented
approach to patient care.
Assessing – collecting, organizing and communicating /
recording client dataPurpose: to establish data base
about the client’s response to health concerns or illness and the ability to manage health care needs
Assessment
Activities:• Obtain health hx• Perform P.A.• Review records, e.g. lab records,
other health care records• Interview support persons• Review literature• Validate assessment data
Nursing Process
Assessment
Assessment (Data Collection)
= Observation + Interview + Examination
Observation
Interview
Examination
Data Collection – process of gathering information about the
client’s health statusTYPES OF DATA : • Subjective – symptoms or covert
datae.g. – itching pain, feelings of worry• includes client’s sensations, feelings,
values, beliefs, attitudes and perception of personal health status and life situations.
Problem : Fever subjective cue: “Mainit ang pakiramdam ko.”
Assessment“Let me look at that.”“Tell me about it.”
Types of Data
•Objective data –signs or overt data; detectable by an observer or can be tested against an accepted standard
•e.g. – discoloration of the skin • Problem: fever-objective
cue : skin is warm to touch; temp. is 38.9 C/ax
Objective dataCaput medusae BP reading
SOURCES OF DATA:
•Primary source - client (best source of data)
SOURCES OF DATA:• Secondary sources –
indirect sourcese.g. – family members, -support people,
-client records (medical records, records of therapies by other health professionals and laboratory records),
-health care professionals,- literature
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION:
•Observing using the five senses; a conscious deliberate skill that is developed only through effort and with an organized approach
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
•Interview a planned communication or conversation with a purpose
2 approaches: • a. direct
interview highly structured and elicit specific information by asking closed questions that call for a specific amount of data.
Interview• b. nondirective
the nurse allows the client to control the purpose, subject matter and pacing
Requirement: RAPPORT - the
understanding between two or more people.
Interview
Kinds of interview questions:•Closed
questions restrictive and generally require only short answers giving specific information; often begin with when, where, who, what, do, does, did
•Open-ended questions lead or invite clients to explore their thoughts or feelings
PLANNING THE INTERVIEW AND SETTING:
• Time need to be scheduled when the client is comfortable and free of pain
• Place must have adequate privacy to promote communication• Seating arrangement • Distance most people feel comfortable 3 to 4 ft apart during an interview
STAGES OF AN INTERVIEW:• Opening sets the tone of the remainder of
the interview.a.1. Establish rapport process of creating
good will and trusta.2 Orientation explaining the purpose and
nature of the interview• Body client communicates what he or she
thinks, feels, knows and perceives in response to questions from the nurse
• Closing important in facilitating future interactions.

NURSING DIAGNOSIS :• statement of the client’s health status• clinical judgment about individual, family or
community responses to actual and potential health problems / life processes.
Purpose: Provides the basis for selections of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for w/c the nurse is accountable
NURSING DIAGNOSIS :
Eg.• Problem : Fever
nursing diagnosis : Alteration in thermoregulatory function: or
hyperthermia related to inflammatory process
TYPES OF NURSING DIAGNOSES:
• Actual Nursing Diagnosis a judgment about the client’s response to a health problem w/c is present at the time of nursing assessment
• Potential Nursing Diagnosis a judgment that a client is more vulnerable to develop the problem in the same / similar situation
• Problem Statement describes the client’s health problem or response for which nursing therapy is given
• Qualifiers added words to give additional meaning to the diagnostic statement
• Altered change from baseline• Impaired made worse, weakened,
damaged• Decreased smaller in size, amount or
degree• Ineffective not producing the desired
effect• Acute severe or of short duration• Chronic lasting a long time
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
1.Using medical diagnosis–INCORRECT: Self-care deficit related
to stroke–CORRECT: Self-care deficit related to
neuromuscular impairment2.Relating the problem to an
unchangeable situation
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
3. Confusing the etiology or signs/symptoms for the problem– INCORRECT: Post-operative
lung congestion related to bed rest
– CORRECT: Ineffective airway clearance related to general weakness and immobility
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
4. Use of a procedure instead of a human response– INCORRECT:
Catheterization related to urinary retention
– CORRECT: Urinary retention related to perineal swelling
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
5. Lack of specificity• INCORRECT: Constipation
related to nutritional intake• CORRECT: Constipation related
to inadequate dietary bulk and fluid intake
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
6. Combining two nursing diagnosis• INCORRECT: Anxiety and fear
related to separation from parents
• CORRECT: Anxiety related to change in environment and unmet needs
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
7. Relating one nursing diagnosis to another
• INCORRECT: Coping, individual ineffective related to anxiety
• CORRECT: Anxiety, severe related to change in role functioning and socio-economic status
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
• Use of judgmental/value-laden language
• Ineffective airway clearance related to bad habit
COMMON ERRORS IN FORMULATING NURSING DIAGNOSES
9. Making assumptions • INCORRECT: Risk for altered
parenting related to inexperience• CORRECT: Deficient knowledge
regarding child care issues related to lack of previous experience, unfamiliarity with resources
10.Writing a Legally Inadvisable Statement
• INCORRECT: Skin integrity related to not being turned every 2 hours
• CORRECT: Impaired skin integrity related to pressure and altered circulation
A Nursing Diagnosis
• Is– A statement of a
patient problem– Actual or potential– Within the scope of
nursing practice– Directive of
nursing intervention
• Is Not– A medical diagnosis– A nursing action– A physician order– A therapeutic
treatment
Medical Dx vs.Nursing Diagnosis
• Myocardial infarction
• Chronic ulcerative colitis
• Chronic ulcerative colitis
• Cancer of the breast
• Cerebral vascular accident
• Fear r/t possible recurrence of uncertain outcome
• Diarrhea r/t dis. process• Alteration in nutrition: less
than body requirements r/t altered GI absorptions
• Risk for(Potential) body image disturbance if mastectomy is required
• Self-care deficit: dressing & grooming r/t right sided flaccidity
Etiology (Related/ Risk Factors) the probable cause of the health problem; may include client’s behavior, environmental factors or the interaction of the two;
NANDA-“ related to” to describe the etiology or likely cause
Example:• Activity intolerance related to decreased
cardiac output.• Ineffective breast-feeding related to first-
time experience • Altered bowel elimination; constipation
related to insufficient fluid intake.
• Medical Diagnosis made by a physician refers to a pathophysiologic responses that are fairly uniform from one client to another.
• Nursing Diagnosis describes the clients’ physical, sociocultural, psychologic and spiritual responses to an illness or potential health problems; vary among individuals.
Nursing diagnosisActual nursing diagnoses
PES approach= Problem + Etiology + S/S• Impaired verbal communication r/t
cultural differences as manifested by inability to speak English
Nursing diagnosis
Potential nursing diagnosisPRF approach (risk factor)
• Potential skin breakdown r/t physical immobilization in total body cast
• Potential fluid volume deficit r/t diarrhea, age 3 yrs., low oral intake, elevated temperature
PLANNING• involves decision making and problem solvingPlanning process includes:A.Setting priorities establishing a preferential order
for nursing strategies ; the nurse must consider a variety of factors :
1.Client’s health values and beliefs a client may believe that being home with children is more urgent than a health problem.
2.Client’s priorities involving the client enhances cooperation between nurse and client
3.Urgency of health problems ABC’s of life (airway, breathing, circulation)
4.Medical treatment plan must be congruent with treatment of other health care professionals
PLANNINGshould be S-M-A-R-T (specific, measurable,
attainable, realistic and time-bound)
• Example:• Problem : Fever subjective cues : “Mainit ang
pakiramdam ko.”• objective cues : skin is warm to
touch; temp. is 38.9 C• nursing diagnosis : Alteration in
thermoregulatory function: hyperthermia related to inflammatory process
• plan : After 4 hours of continuous nursing intervention, patient’s temperature will decrease from 38.9 C to 37.5C/ ax.
PLANNING
Planning = setting priorities + establishing
goals + planning interventions
PLANNING
B. Establish GoalsComponents of a goal statement
Goal statement = pt behavior + criteria of performance +
Time + conditions (if needed)
Components of a goal statement
• PATIENT BEHAVIOR- an observable activity that the patient will demonstrate– (the patient) will void– Decrease in ( the patient’s) BP– (the patient) will ambulate– (the patient) will report– (the patient) will drink
Components of a goal statement
• TIME FRAME- a designated time or date when the patient should be able to achieve the behavior– Within the next hour– By discharge– At the end of this shift– By Dec. 25– In 2 months
Components of a goal statement• CONDITIONS
- specific aides which will facilitate the patient performing a behavior at the level in the criteria and within the specified time frame– With the help of a walker– With the use of a wheelchair– With the help of the family– With the use of medication– Using oral analgesics q3-4 hrs– Using IM Demerol q3-4 hrs
Planning Process
C. Planning Interventions• render continuous tepid sponge bath• loosen tight and thick clothing• increase fluid intake• keep room well ventilated• administer antipyretics as
indicated/ordered
IMPLEMENTATION / INTERVENTION implement the
interventions identified in the plan of care.
• Cognitive/Intellectual Skills include problem solving, decision making, critical thinking and creative thinking
IMPLEMENTATION / INTERVENTION• Interpersonal skills
activities use when communicating directly with one another; include verbal and nonverbal activities; necessary for caring, comforting, referring, counseling and supporting clients;
IMPLEMENTATION / INTERVENTION• Technical
/psychomotor skills ‘hands-on’ skills
such as manipulating equipment, giving injections and bandaging, moving, lifting, and repositioning clients; require knowledge and frequently manual dexterity.
The process of implementing:1.Reassessing the client
reassess whether the intervention is still needed
Note:even though an order is written on the
care plan, the situation or the client’s condition may have changed.
The process of implementing:2.Determining the need for
nursing assistance the nurse maybe unable to implement the nursing strategies safely alone
The process of implementing:3.Implementing nursing
strategies nursing activities include caring, communicating, helping, teaching, counseling, acting as a client advocate and change agent, leading and managing.
The process of implementing
4.Communicating nursing actions recording the interventions along with the client responses in the nursing progress notes.
TYPES OF NURSING ACTIONS:• Independent Nursing Actions an activity
that the nurse initiates as a result of the nurse’s own knowledge and skills
• Dependent nursing actions activities carried out on the order of the physician, under the physician’s supervision or according to specified routines
• Collaborative nursing actions activities performed either jointly with another member of the health care team or as a result of a joint decision by the nurse and another health care team member
• Problem : Fever subjective cues : “Mainit ang pakiramdam ko.”
• objective cues : skin is warm to touch; temp. is 38.9 C
nursing diagnosis : Alteration in thermoregulatory function: hyperthermia related to inflammatory process
plan : After 4 hours of continuous nursing intervention, patient’s temperature will decrease from 38.9 C to 37.5C.
Intervention
• continuous tepid sponge bath rendered
• tight and thick clothing loosened• fluid intake increased• room kept well ventilated• antipyretics as indicated/ordered
administered
EVALUATION• The evaluation process has 6 components:• Identifying the expected outcomes that the nurse
will use to measure client goal achievement• Collecting data related to the expected outcomes• Comparing the data with the expected outcomes
and judging whether the goals have been achieved
• Relating nursing actions to client outcomes• Drawing conclusions about problem status• Reviewing and modifying the client’s care plan• determine client’s progress toward goal
achievement and the effectiveness of NCP
• EVALUATION STATEMENT consist of 2 parts : a conclusion and a supporting data
• Example : Goal met : After 4 hours of continuous nursing intervention, temperature decreased from 38.9 to 37.4 C/ax
