Nursing Process

six-step systematic method for giving patient care; involves assessing, diagnosing, outcomes identification planning, implementing, and evaluating

(Outcomes identification and planning often combined when creating a nursing care plan)

Subjective Data

things a person tells you about that you cannot observe through your senses; symptoms

Objective Data

information that is seen, heard, felt, or smelled by an observer; signs

Primary vs. Secondary Source

Primary: Patient and most accurate.

Secondary: Family members, significant other, medical records, diagnostic procedures, and specialists.

Nursing Diagnosis

A nursing diagnosis revolves around the patients RESPONSE to what is happening.

(ex.
- Anxiety is the response to asthma.
- Impaired mobility is the response of a Stroke.)

Medical Diagnosis

the identification of a disease or condition by a doctor

(Ex. Hypertension, Diabetes, Dementia, Obesity)

How is data collected on assessment?

Physical assessment with interview questions/assessment questions

Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

(level 1) Physiological Needs,
(level 2) Safety and Security
(level 3) Relationships, Love and Affection
(level 4) Self Esteem
(level 5) Self Actualization

Nursing

the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations

Outcomes Identification

identifies expected outcomes for a plan individualized to the patient or situation

ANA

American Nurses Association

Assessment

Systematic, dynamic process by which the RN through interaction with patient, family, groups, communities, populations and health care providers, collects and analyzes data (ANA)

Complete assessment

Involves a review and physical examination of all body systems.
(Cognitive, psychosocial, emotional, cultural, and spiritual components)

Focused assessment

Review and examine a specific area of the body.

What does a complete assessment entail?

Cognitive, psychosocial, emotional, cultural, and spiritual components.

Types of data? (3)

Cue, Subjective, Objective

Cue

pieces of data, actual or potential problem.

When is obtaining information from secondary sources

When the patient is unable to supply information.

What type of data is collected during interview process?

- Biographic data
- Reason patient is seeking health care
- History of present illness
-Past health history
- Environmental history
- Psychosocial history

What type of data is collected during the physical examination?

- Head-to-toe format
- Guided by subjective data

Diagnosis

Identify the type and cause of a health conditions

"A clinical judgment about the patient's response to actual or potential health conditions or needs. Diagnoses provide the basis for determination of a plan of care to achieve expected outcomes"

Etiology

the study of the causes of diseases

Nursing Diagnosis Examples

- Risk for self harm - Ineffective coping - Impaired nutrition - Impaired mobility - Chronic pain
- Risk for falls
- Knowledge deficit - Confusion
- Constipation
- Acute infection
- Fluid Volume
- Overload

Medical Diagnosis examples

- Depression
- Diabetes mellitus - Hypertension
- Dementia
- Bowel obstruction - Pneumonia
- Congestive Heart - Failure

Components of Nursing Diagnosis

-Nursing diagnosis
-Definition of Nursing Diagnosis (Clear, precise description of problem)
-Contributing/etiological/related factors ("related to" and risk factors)
-Defining characteristics

Acute vs. Chronic

new onset vs. long standing
Short term vs. Long term

Acute needs may pose more of a threat
Chronic needs usually develop over period of time
Attend to alteration in acute phase before they evolve into chronic alteration

Etiology and Risk Factors examples

- Foley catheter
- Central line
- Bed rest/immobility
- Weakness
- Poor appetite
- Chronic disease

Actual nursing diagnosis

represents a condition that is currently present.

-Problem Statement (r/t)
- Etiology (risk factors) (AEB)
- Defining characteristics

Example of actual nursing diagnosis

• Impaired skin integrity r/t immobility AEB 3 cm stage III pressure ulcer on sacrum

- Fluid volume overload r/t congestive heart failure AEB +3 edema to b/l lower extremities, crackles in b/l lung bases, and blood pressure 168/98

What is ADOPIE?

Nursing Process:

Assessment
Diagnosis
Outcome identification
Planning
Implementation
Evaluation

What does r/t mean?

related to

What does AEB stand for?

as evidenced by

Example of risk diagnosis

- Risk for falls r/t dementia and lower extremity weakness

- Risk for impaired skin integrity r/t bowel incontinence

T/F: A Medical diagnosis may change as care is provided or the condition changes.

FALSE

Nursing diagnosis may change or resolve as care is provided or the condition changes.
A medical diagnosis will NOT change

Outcome Identification/Planning

Outcomes statement indicates the degree of wellness desired, expected or possible for the patient to achieve

Planning

The nurse establishes priorities of care and nursing interventions are chosen that will best address the nursing diagnosis

(patient-centered goals/desired patient outcomes)

T/F : Physiologic needs come BEFORE safety and security

TRUE

T/F: Safety and security needs come BEFORE love and belonging needs

TRUE

Physician-prescribed interventions

Actions ordered by a physician for a nurse or other health care provider to perform
(Medications, wound care, diagnostic tests)

Nurse-prescribed interventions

Actions the nurse can legally order or begin independently
(Providing a back massage, turning patient every 2 hours, monitoring for complications)

What should nursing order include?

• Date
• Signature of the nurse responsible for the plan of care
• Subject (who will carry out the activity)
• Action verb
• Qualifying details

What is the product of the nursing process?

Written nursing care plan

Implementation

The nurse and other members of the team put the established plan into action to promote outcome achievement

T/F: Documentation is a vital component of the implementation phase

TRUE
"If it was not charted, it was not done" is a constant principle of nursing

Make sure to reassess after carrying out an intervention!

following pain medication, BP medication, antibiotic
• heat pack vs cold pack
• TENS therapy, massage therapy

Evaluation

A determination is made about the extent to which the established outcomes have been achieved
(The plan of care is changed during this phase of the nursing process)

THREE (3) Evaluation judgments/decisions:

- The outcome was achieved
- The outcome was not achieved
- The outcome was partially achieved

Role of LVN (Nursing process)

- Provide direct bedside nursing care
- This direct care position allows the LPN/LVN to closely observe, prioritize, intervene, and evaluate the care provided to and for the patient

ADOPIE

What is the major advantage of using the nursing process to identify nursing diagnosis?

1. Helps nurses identify a disease or illness that creates problems for the patient
2. Allows nurses to use clinical judgment about actual or potential health problems
3. permits nurses to use standardized care plans for common patient problems
4. Limits the type of problems that nurses are responsible for treating

ANSWER: 2

The nurse must gather and analyze data to make clinical judgments and determine appropriate nursing diagnoses/patient problem statements.

The nurse observes that the patient is pale; diaphoretic; slightly hunched over; and demonstrates deep rapid breathing. Based on the objective data, which question will the nurse use to elicit the most relevant subjective data?

1. "Do you feel chilled or feverish?"
2. "Do you need some help to sit up?"
3. "Are you having any pain?"
4. "When did you start feeling like this?"

ANSWER: 3
There are a number of conditions that could cause the patient to be pale, diaphoretic, and tachypneic. Based on the objective cues, the nurse would use critical thinking and conclude that respiratory and cardiac causes would have priority over metabolic or renal causes. Then the nurse will use a series of closed questions to try to determine the cause. In other words, chest pain suggests cardiac or respiratory problems. Fever and chills are related to infection. Difficulty sitting could be related to neurologic dysfunction, systemic weakness, or musculoskeletal problems.

Which intervention would be considered a prescribed nursing intervention?

1. Obtain and report peak and trough levels for vancomycin x3 days
2. Administer IV 5% dextrose and half saline for 8 hours
3. Make a referral to physical therapy to teach the patient to transfer from bed to wheelchair
4. Encourage independence in hygiene by supervising while the patient washes face and hands.

ANSWER 4
Nurse prescribed interventions are actions that the nurse can independently determine and initiate. The other interventions require a provider's order/prescription.

What would be an example of a collaborative problem?

1. Edema
2. Anxiety
3. Coping
4. Social Isolation

ANSWER 1
Edema would be a collaborative problem, because the provider would identify the medical diagnosis that is causing or contributing to the edema and then prescribe medication or other therapies. The nurse would identify a nursing diagnosis such as Excess fluid volume, and design interventions such as position change, review dietary aspects, and reinforce medication compliance.

The post-surgical patient reports that he is having lower abdominal pain. What would the nurse include in the focused physical assessment?

1. Check peripheral pulses ans sensation
2. Check for rigidity and rebound tenderness
3. Assess the patients mental status
4. Auscultate the lung sounds

ANSWER 2

Palpating the abdomen to locate any rigidity or rebound tenderness would be part of the focused physical assessment related to the patient's report of abdominal pain.

An older adult patient is wetting the bed because he is unable to independently get up and go to the bathroom. For this particular patient, which phase of the nursing process is most critical to address the patients needs?

1. Assessment
2. Diagnosis
3. Planning
4. Evaluation

ANSWER 3

All phases of the nursing process are linked together. However, for this patient the problem is straightforward, and the solution seems simple, but careful planning is essential, because assisting this patient to the bathroom will be very time-consuming

The caregiver of a patient with Alzheimers disease reports that the patient is unsteady and easily loses his balance, leaves the house, and needs coaching to accomplish tasks. Which nursing diagnosis will apply to this patient? (Select all that apply)

1. Acute confusion
2. Self-care deficit for activities of daily living
3. Wandering
4. Potential for caregiver role strain
5. Potential for falls.

Answer 2, 3, 4, 5

Patients with Alzheimer's disease will have many problems. Acute confusion should not apply, unless the patient has delirium or a new injury/insult to the neurologic system. Chronic confusion would more accurately describe the patient's baseline behavior.

The nurse is performing the assessment phase of the nursing process. Which nursing action would be done during this phase?

1. Observe a patients ability to independently perform AM hygienic care
2. Adjust standardized care plan to meet the needs of the individual patient
3. take BP 30 minutes after giving medication
4. Assist the patient to make a list of questions to ask the provider

Answer 1
Observing the patient's abilities is an assessment that will guide the type of interventions that the nurse selects. Modifying a standardized plan is part of the planning phase. Taking the blood pressure after medication is evaluating the efficacy of the intervention. Assisting the patient to make a list of questions would be done during the intervention phase.

The nurse is caring for a patient who is 1 day postoperative for abdominal surgery. The patient reports that the abdominal pain is unrelieved by medication. he also reports feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and slightly nauseated. What objective data should the nurse collect first?

1. Assess the dressing and observe for blood or drainage.
2. look at the most recent BP and pulse
3. Check the last hematocrit and hemoglobin results
4. Assess the abdomen for distention and rigidity

Answer 1
The nurse would observe the dressing for blood or drainage but would not remove the dressing because the surgeon usually removes the dressing for the first time. If the dressing is saturating through, the nurse would reinforce it. The nurse would check the blood pressure and pulse and assess the abdomen because postoperative patients have risk for hemorrhage or peritonitis. I

Which action reflects the assessment step of the nursing process?

1. Taking a patient's apical pulse rate every 2 hours after being admitted for an
episode of chest pain
2. Scheduling a patient's fluid intake over 12 hours when the patient has a fluid
restriction
3. Examining a patient for injury after a patient falls in the bathroom
4. Obtaining a patient's respiratory rate after a nebulizer treatment

ANSWER: 3

This action reflects the assessment step of the nursing process. Assessment involves collecting data via observation, physical examination, and interviewing.

Which should the nurse do during the evaluation step of the nursing process?

1. Set the time frames for goals.
2. Revise a plan of care.
3. Determine priorities.
4. Establish outcomes.

ANSWER: 2
Revising a plan of care takes place in the evaluation step of the nursing process. If during evaluation it is determined that the goal was not met, the reasons for failure have to be identified and the plan modified.

During which step of the nursing process does determining which actions will be employed to meet the needs of a patient occur?

1. Implementation
2. Assessment
3. Planning
4. Analysis

ANSWER: 3

The identification of nursing actions designed to help a patient achieve a goal occurs during the planning step of the nursing process.

Which information supports the appropriateness of a nursing diagnosis?

1. Defining characteristics
2. Planned interventions
3. Diagnostic statement
4. Related risk factors

ANSWER: 1
The defining characteristics are the major and minor cues that form a cluster that support or validate the presence of a nursing diagnosis. At least one major defining characteristic must be present for a nursing diagnosis to be considered appropriate for the patient

Which is the primary goal of the assessment phase of the nursing process?

1. Build trust
2. Collect data
3. Establish goals
4. Validate the medical diagnosis

ANSWER: 2
The primary purpose of the assessment step of the nursing process is to collect data (information) from various sources using a variety of approaches.

Which most directly influences the planning step of the nursing process?

1. Related factors
2. Diagnostic label
3. Secondary factors
4. Medical diagnosis

ANSWER: 1

Related factors (i.e., "contributing to" factors, etiology) contribute to the problem statement of the nursing diagnosis and directly impact on the planning step of the nursing process. Nursing interventions are selected to minimize or relieve the effects of the related factors. If nursing interventions are appropriate and effective, the human response identified in the problem statement part of the nursing diagnosis will resolve.

When two nursing diagnoses appear closely related, which should the nurse do first to determine which diagnosis most accurately reflects the needs of the patient?

1. Reassess the patient.
2. Examine the related to factors.
3. Analyze the secondary to factors.
4. Review the defining characteristics.

ANSWER: 4
The first thing the nurse should do to differentiate between two closely associated nursing diagnoses is to compare the data collected to the major and minor defining characteristics of each of the nursing diagnoses being considered.

Which is the primary reason why a nurse performs a physical assessment of a newly admitted patient?

1. Identify if the patient is at risk for falls.
2. Ensure that the patient's skin is totally intact.
3. Identify important information about the patient.
4. Establish a therapeutic relationship with the patient.

ANSWER: 3
This is the primary purpose of a nursing physical assessment. Data must be collected and then analyzed to determine significance and grouped in meaningful clusters before a nursing diagnosis or plan of care can be made.

A nurse evaluates a patient's response to a nursing intervention. To which aspect of the nursing process is this evaluation most directly related?

1. Goal
2. Problem
3. Etiology
4. Implementation

ANSWER: 1
To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing action the nurse must compare the actual patient outcome with the expected patient outcome. The expected outcomes are the measurable data that reflect goal achievement, and the actual outcomes are what really happened.

When the nurse considers the nursing process, the word "identify" is to "recognize" as the word "do" is to which of the following words?

1. Plan
2. Analyze
3. Evaluate
4. Implement

ANSWER: 4
This is the correct analogy. The words "identify" and "recognize" have the same definition. They both mean the same as that which is known. The words "do" and "implement" both have the same definition. They both mean to carry out some action.
