The purpose of the nursing process is to
provide care for clients that is individualized,
holistic, effective, and efficient.
It directs nursing activities for healthpromotion, health protection, and diseaseprevention and is used by nurses in everypractice setting and specialty. The nursingprocess provides the basis for criticalthinking in nursing

RITUAL THINKING
Underlies the development of habits
actions we perform so often, that we do
them automatically, without conscious
decisions.

RANDOM THINKING
Is the free association of ideas at the
unconscious level that can lead to
impulsive implementation of the first
problem solving solution.

THINKING Reflects awareness of human values and
respect for clients individual needs.

CRITICAL THINKING
Is based on the scientific method i.e.
deliberate and systemic use of rational
informed thought process in problem
finding and problem solving.

STEPS OF NURSING
PROCESSNursing process involves five steps which
include assessment, nursing diagnosis,
planning, implementation and evaluation.

ASSESSMENT
Is the first phase in the nursing process and
has two sub phases which include data
collection and data analysis or synthesis.
8/10/2019 Nursing Process Application1
11/30
Assessment consist of the systematic and
orderly collections and analysis of data about
the health status of the patient to making the
nursing diagnosis.
Incorrect or insufficiency assessment leading
to false diagnosis.

ASSESSMENT
GUIDLINES Biographical data.
Health historyincluding family
members. Subjective and
objective data (physical exam,medical diagnosis,medical problem,diagnostic studiesresult.)
Social, cultural andenvironmentaldata.
Behaviours riskslead to potentialproblem.
Traditionallynursing usedmedicalassessmentframework for thecollection &organization ofdata.

Subjective Data
Subjective data are data from the clients point ofview and include feelings, perceptions, andconcerns. The method of collecting subjectiveinformation is primarily the interview. Using
therapeutic interviewing techniques, the nursecollects data that will begin to build the clientdatabase. Examples of subjective informationinclude such statements as:
I drink only coffee for breakfast.
I have had pains in my legs for three days now.
I go to sleep easily each night, but I wake up abouttwo hours later and cannot go back to sleep until itis time to get up in the morning.

Objective Data
Objective data are observable andmeasurable data that are obtained throughboth standard assessment techniques
performed during the physical examinationand diagnostic tests. The primary methodof collecting objective information is thephysical examination, which providesinformation about the function of body
systems.
8/10/2019 Nursing Process Application1
15/30
Examples of objective
information include:
T 98.6F, P 100, R 12, B/P 130/76
Bowel sounds auscultated in all fourquadrants
Gait slow, shuffling, and unsteady
This objective information may add to orvalidate subjective information. Validationis a critical step in data collection to avoidomissions, prevent misunderstandings, and
avoid incorrect inferences andconclusions.

Diagnosis
The second step in the nursing processinvolves further analysis (breaking thewhole down into parts that can beexamined) and synthesis (putting datatogether in a new way) of the data thathave been collected. Formulation of the
list of nursing diagnoses is the outcome ofthis process. According to the NorthAmerican Nursing Diagnosis Association(NANDA) a nursing diagnosis is a clinicaljudgment about individual, family, or
community responses to actual orpotential health problems/life processes.Nursing diagnoses provide the basis forselection of nursing interventions toachieve outcomes for which the nurse isaccountable.
8/10/2019 Nursing Process Application1
17/30
The nurse uses critical-thinking and decision-makingskills in developing nursing diagnoses. This process isfacilitated by asking questions such as:
Are there problems here?
If so, what are the specific problems?
What are some possible causes for the problems?
Is there a situation involving risk factors?
What are the risk factors?
Is there a situation in which a problem can develop if
preventive measures are not taken?Has the client indicated a desire for a higher level of
wellness in a particular area of function?
What are the clients strengths?
What data are available to answer these questions?
Are more data needed to answer the question?If so, what are some possible sources of the data that
are needed?

Outcome Identification
and Planning
Planning is the third step of the nursing
process and includes the formulation of
guidelines that establish the proposed
course of nursing action in the resolutionof nursing diagnoses and the development
of the client's plan of care.
8/10/2019 Nursing Process Application1
21/30
The planning phase involves several
tasks:
The list of nursing diagnoses is
prioritized.
Client-centered long- and short-term
goals and outcomes are identified andwritten.
Specific interventions are developed.
The entire plan of care is recorded in
the clients record.
8/10/2019 Nursing Process Application1
22/30
Expected outcomes are specific objectives related to thegoals and are used to evaluate the nursinginterventions.
They must be measurable, have a time limit, and berealistic. Once goals and expected outcomes havebeen established, nursing interventions are plannedthat enable the client to reach the goals.
Consider, for example, two outcomes:
The patients shortness of breath will improve.
The patient will be less short of breath within 15minutes
as evidenced by patient rating the shortness of breath at
less than 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, respiratory ratebetween
16 and 20, and relaxed appearance.

Establishing Goals
After the priorities of the nursingdiagnoses and expected outcomeshave been established, the
immediate, intermediate, and long-term goals and the nursing actionsappropriate for attaining the goalsare identified. The patient and his or
her family are included inestablishing goals for the nursingactions.

24/30
For example, goals for a patient with diabetesand a nursing diagnosis of deficientknowledge related to the prescribed diet may
be stated as follows: Immediate goal: Demonstrates oral intake
and tolerance of 1500-calorie diabetic dietspaced in three meals and one snack per day.
Intermediate goal: Plans meals for 1 week
based on diabetic exchange list. Long-term goal: Adheres to prescribed
diabetic diet.

IMPLEMENT TION
The fourth step in the nursing process isimplementation.
Implementation involves the execution of thenursing
plan of care derived during the planningphase.When implementing the plan of care, theactions listed as interventions areperformed. The patients response to
each intervention is noted and documented.This documentation provides the basis forevaluation and revision of the plan of care.
8/10/2019 Nursing Process Application1
26/30
The plan of nursing care serves as the basis forimplementation:
The immediate, intermediate, and long-termgoals are used as a focus for the
implementation of the designated nursinginterventions.
While implementing nursing care, the nursecontinually assesses the patient and his orher response to the nursing care.
Revisions are made in the plan of care as thepatients condition, problems, and responseschange and when reassignment of prioritiesis required.
Implementation includes direct or indirect
execution of theplanned interventions. It is focused on resolvingthe patients nursing diagnoses andcollaborative problems and achievingexpected outcomes, thus meeting the
patients health needs.

Evaluation
Evaluation, the final step of the nursing
process, allows the nurse to determine the
patients response to the nursing
interventions and the extent to which the
objectives have been achieved.
8/10/2019 Nursing Process Application1
29/30
Through evaluation, the nurse can answer the followingquestions:
Were the nursing diagnoses and collaborative problems
accurate?
Did the patient achieve the expected outcomes withinthe
critical time periods?
Have the patients nursing diagnoses been resolved?
Have the collaborative problems been resolved?
Have the patients nursing needs been met?
Should the nursing interventions be continued, revised,or discontinued?
Have new problems evolved for which nursinginterventions
have not been planned or implemented?
What factors influenced the achievement or lack ofachievement
of the objectives?
Do priorities need to be reassigned?
Should changes be made in the expected outcomes andoutcome criteria?
