What you’ll cover
Introduction & Characteristics
The Nursing Process is an organized, systematic, and dynamic method of giving individualized nursing care. It serves as the foundational blueprint for how nurses approach patient care globally.
Phase 1: Assessment
Assessment is the foundational first phase of the nursing process. Without accurate assessment, every subsequent phase will fail.
Phase 2: Nursing Diagnosis
A nursing diagnosis requires clinical judgment concerning a human response, distinct from a medical diagnosis.
Phase 3: Planning & Goals
The planning stage is where the nurse formulates clinical goals and expected outcomes that will directly drive patient care.
Phase 4: Implementation & Rationale
The implementation phase is when the nurse stops planning and puts the treatment plan into physical effect. It is the 'doing' phase.
Phase 5: Evaluation & Importance
Evaluating is the fifth and final step of the nursing process. It is the definitive moment where the nurse determines if the patient is actually improving.
