3. Problem Solving
• In problem solving you {Nurses} try to understand problem and seek
for the solution.
• Possible solutions are carefully evaluated and one of them are chosen
for implementations.
• The Nurse do not discard the other solution, but holds them in
reserve in the event.
• If the first choice do not work then other can be used.
• This helps to enhance the problem solving skill as well.

4. Problem Solving Process

5. Step: 1 Problem Definition
• In this step there is need to write down
what exactly the problem requires, which
help to identify the real problem that is
under study and needs an immediate
solution.

Problem: The difference between thing as
perceived and things as desired.

6. Step: 2 Problem Analysis
• How the problem effect the researcher and
his or her current situation and other people
involved in the situation.
• The gravity of the problem and all the
factors that are contributing to the problem
are determined.

Or we can say that, it is the process of understanding the real world problems and user needs and
proposing solution to meet their problem

7. Step 3: Generating the possible solution
• Focus must be on identifying generating
all possible solution for a problem.
• Each potential idea for solution of a
problem must be considered without
discarding it through value judgement.

8. Step 4: Analyzing the solutions
• Various factors about each of the
potential solutions are investigated,
wherein all the positive and negative
aspects of each solution are analyzed.

9. Step 5: Selecting the best solutions
• An attempt is made to compare the
available solutions, and eventually
the best solutions is selected based
on the careful judgement.

10. Step 6: Implementing the solution
• The final step of the problem
solving process is to practically
solve the problem by
implementing the selected
solutions.

11. Step 7: Evaluation and revision
• After implementation of the best
potential solution, an evaluation is
made to judge the effectiveness of the
solution in resolving the problem.
• It also help to redefine the problem and
revise the problem solving process in
case the initial solution fails to mange
the problem effectively.
