All good nursing care begins with - Ansan assessment
The Nursing Process - Ans- *systematic problem solving approach* of thinking when delivering care
- applying knowledge, skills, and caring to the art and science of nursing
6 Phases of the Nursing Process - AnsADPIE
1. Assessment
2. Diagnosis
3. Planning
4. Interventions
5. Evaluation
(1) Assessment
(3 gathering ways, 3 times to assess) - Ans1. gather info using
a) interview
b) observation
c) physical exam
2. Validate conflicting data
3. Organize and report data
When to do assessment:
- Initial Assessment
- Ongoing Assessment (compare initial to improvement)
- Special Purpose Assessment (i.e post op area)
Subjective vs Objective Data - Anssubjective: qualitative: pt states she's in pain
objective: quantitative: low blood glucose levels
How to validate conflicting data - AnsDiscrepancy between pt report vs your observations
- *compare data with 'normal' pt values*
- ask pt more questions/ to elaborate
- my mistake? did I make an assumption?
- pt lying?
- recheck assessment
- ask for help
(2) Diagnosis - Ans- nursing diagnosis is of HUMAN RESPONSE, not the illness itself
1. sort info
2. write statements
3. prioritize diagnoses
4. decide which is independent and dependent
Write a Nursing Diagnosis PES Statement - AnsPES: Problem, Etiology, Signs
"(risk of) Problem (RT) Cause (AEB) Signs & Symptoms"
(3) Planning - Ans1. Planning Outcomes
- short term
- long term
- both are SMART GOALS
2. Planning Interventions
- independent
- dependent
- be specific: who, what, when, how?
3. Give Rationale for choosing each intervention (w references)
i.e "nurse on duty will reposition the pt from bed to chain every hour using support cane"
Outcomes - AnsOutcomes: results of care
Planned outcomes: desired goals
SMART goals - AnsSpecific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely
Independent vs Dependent Interventions - AnsIndependent: interventions we can do alone with our nursing authority
Dependent: interventions we can only do with delegation from a physician or referral to other authority
3 things to consider when planning interventions - Ans- pt preference
- rationale: research evidence of it's success
- feasibility: can I perform thi intervention with my current skills, resources, and pt cooperation?
Evidence-Based Informed Interventions - Ans- the amalgamation of research evidence, your own clinical expertise, resource access, and patient preferences to choose an intervention
(5) Implementation - Ans1. doing
- give interventions!
2. delegating
- collab with HTC
3. documenting
- record how client responds
(6) Evaluation - Ans- make plan to reevaluate success of the GOALS/OUTCOMES by a certain time
- pt response to interventions
- success of short and long term goals
- revise care plan if needed
- evaluation data becomes new assessment data: new cycle begins
Why the Nursing Process is important - Ans- helps public understand what we do as nurses
- promotes INDIVIDUALIZED care (personal cultures, needs, dears)
- promotes continuity and coordination between HCT
- involves client
Purpose of a Theory - Ansoffers a way of looking at a discipline that can be communicated to others

- pt mentions concern
- condition changes
- big event like surgery
The nursing process helps facilitate ____________ - Ansclinical reasoning (organized guidance through each step)
Clinical Reasoning - Ans- collecting/catching cues
- recognizing patterns
- analyzing and prioritizing evidence
- using intuition
- prevents assumptions + stereotypes (don't only focus on "at risk" pts)
Data vs Cue - Ansdata is the current available pt info
CUES:
- subtle/incremental physiologic or psycho-social CHANGES
- read in context of situation
- compared to pt norms
- little red flag to investigate further
to catch a cue, you must know _________ - Ansthe pts NORMS
lack of picking up on cues can result in - Ansfailure to rescue (negligence)

- collect as much data as possible
- predict future issues
DONT
- search for cues after finding problem
- ignore context, follow straight path
- collect only minimum of info
- focus on tech>pt
If youre stuck in clinical reasoning.... - Ans- reassess
- ask for help from senior nurses
