3. INTRODUCTION
Definition:
It is assisting the individual, sick or well in the
performance of those activities contributing to health
or its recovery (to peaceful death) that he will
perform unaided, if he had the necessary strength,
will or knowledge and to do this in such a way as to
help him gain independence as rapidly as possible
(Virginia Henderson 1960).
Nursing includes the promotion of health,
prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled
and dying people(— International Council of
Nurses).
Nursing encompasses autonomous and
collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families,
groups and communities, sick or well, and in all

The use of clinical judgment in the provision of care to
enable people to improve, maintain, or recover health,
to cope with health problems, and to achieve the best
possible quality of life, whatever their disease or
disability, until death.(— Royal College of Nursing,2003)
‘Nursing is a profession that entails the
humanistic blend of scientific knowledge and the
art of holistic practice to address the basic human
need of achieving health and wellness (College of
Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia, 2004)’.

Nursing is the diagnosis and treatment of human
responses to actual or potential health problems
(ANA-2005).
Nurse: a person who trained and experienced in
nursing profession and interested in care of sick
and well person

6. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
In the early ages, much of the practice of
medicine was integrated with religious
practices.
Before the development of modern nursing,
women of nomadic tribes performed nursing
duties, such as helping the very young, the
old, and the sick, mothers practiced the
nursing of their time.
6
2/8/2024
7. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND….
As human needs expanded, nursing development
broadened; its interest and functions through the
social climates created by religious ideologies,
economics, industrial revolutions, wars, crusades,
and education.
In this way modern nursing was born.
The intellectual revolution of the 18th and 19th
centuries led to a scientific revolution.
The dynamic change in economic and political
situations also influenced every corner of human
development including nursing.
It was during the time of Florence Nightingale that
modern nursing developed(1859).
7
2/8/2024
8. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND….
She greatly modified the tradition of nursing that
existed before her era.
She " believed the role of the nurse was seen as placing the
client in the best condition for nature to act upon him.”.“
Since her time modern nursing development has
rapidly occurred in many parts of the world.
was the first to establish a formal training for nurses.
Nightingale’s Theory focused on the environment.
Although Nightingale never specifically used the term
environment in her writing, she did describe in detail
the concepts of ventilation, warmth, light, diet,
cleanliness and noise, which are components of the
environment

9. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND….
History of Nursing in Ethiopia
Even though Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries in
the world, introduction of modern medicine was very
late.
Health care of communities and families was by
Hakim (wogesha or traditional healers).
Around 1866 missionaries came to Eritrea, (one of the
former provinces of Ethiopia) and started to provide
medical care for very few members of the society.
In 1908 Minlik II hospital was established in the capital
of Ethiopia.The hospital was equipped and staffed by
Russians.
9
2/8/2024
10. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND….
Later hospital building was continued which raised
the need to train health auxiliaries and nurses.
In 1949 the Ethiopian Red Cross, School of
Nursing was established at Hailesellasie I hospital
in Addis Ababa.
The training was given for three years.
In 1954 HailesellasieI Public Health College was
established in Gondar to train health officer,
community health nurses and sanitarians.
During the regimen of 'Dergue', the former
bedside and community health nursing training
was changed to comprehensive nursing.
10
2/8/2024
11. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND....
An additional higher health professional training
institution was also established in 1983 In Jimma.
After the overthrown of the Dergue, the
transitional government of Ethiopia developed a
health policy that emphasizes health promotion,
diseases prevention, and curative and
rehabilitative health service with priority to the
rural societies.
11
2/8/2024
12. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND….
As the result of the policy the training of public
health nursing at the diploma level came in to
existence since 1995.
Additional public health higher training
institutions were established at Dilla and
Alemaya in 1996.
The outputs of these training institutions are
providing services all over the country

15. Nursing process
The nursing process is based on a nursing theory
developed by Ida Jean Orlando (internationally known
psychiatric health nurse, theorist, and researcher)
Developed this theory in the late 1950's as she observed
nurses in action.
She saw "good" nursing and "bad" nursing.
From her observations she learned that the patient must be
the central character.
Nursing care needs to be directed at improving outcomes
for the patient, and not about nursing goals

17. Nursing process…
Purpose of nursing process
To give scientifically- based, holistic,
individualized care for the patient;
An opportunity to work collaboratively with
patients and others;
Achieve continuity of care and;
Encourages the health care team to observe and
interact with the patient, and not just the task
they are performing such as a administering an
injection, dressing change, or a bed bath.
The process provides a roadmap that ensures
good nursing care and improves patient
outcomes.

22. Comparison of Nursing Process
and Medical Process
Nursing Process
Deals with human
response problems and
problems with structure
and function of organs
requiring physician order.
Uses the five steps
approach
Consider the whole
person
Focuses on teaching
individuals and groups
Medical Process
Deals mostly with
problems with structure
and function of organs or
systems.
Goals are not clearly
recorded during planning.
Focuses on teaching
about how diseases and
trauma treated.
Mostly involved with
individuals and rarely with
groups and families.

23. First step in the Nursing Process and includes:
Collection of data
Nursing History from client as a primary source
A comprehensive physical examination that helps to identify the
client’s response to disease; to establish an initial data base for
later comparison, and to validate subjective data presented by the
client during the interview- Not toward identification of disease;
Laboratory;
Nursing Records
Relevant Literature
Input from family and significant others

35. 1.Assessment…
I. Comprehensive (Initial assessment)
• Performed with specific time after admission to
ahealth care agency
• It includes; history taking, physical examination,
and laboratory test
Purpose: -
– Initial identification of normal function, functional
status, and collection of data concerning actual or
potential dysfunction.
– Baseline for reference and future comparison
E.g. nursing admission assessment
35
2/8/2024
36. 1.Assessment…
II. Focus or on going assessment

identified in an earlier assessment
– to identify new or over looked problem
E. g- hourly assessment for the client fluid in
take and urinary out put in an ICU

36
2/8/2024
37. 1.Assessment…
III. Emergency assessment-
is assessment during any physiological and
psychological crisis of the client

health
pattern in a home care or out patient setting
38
2/8/2024
39. Approaches of health assessment
There are three commonly used formats for
assessment data
Including:-
1. Body system approach
2. Human response pattern approach
3. Functional health pattern approach
1.Body system approach: is the traditional approach in
which the nurse observe and recorded data about each
of the body system
• This format does not usually permit the nurse to collect
all of the information needed to perform a holistic
nursing assessment
• it is difficult to perform nursing diagnose
39

40. STRUCTURES OF MEDICAL APPROACH
Biography
Chief compliant
History of present illness
History of past illness
Physical examinations
Medical diagnose
Deferential diagnose
Diagnostic test

2/8/2024
41. Approaches…
2.Human response pattern
This pattern divides a persons human health
status in to nine human response patterns:
exchanging,
communicating, Relating, valuing, choosing,
moving, perceiving, knowing, and feeling.
This approach is commented by experts for
creating confusion because nursing diagnoses
are also expressed in terms of human response
41
2/8/2024
42. Approaches…
3. Functional health pattern
The format developed by Marjory Gordon
Organizes data in to 11 categories of
information
which describes the sequence of behavior over
time rather than isolated events.
It permits the nurse to identify functional
pattern
(client Strength ) and dysfunctional patterns or
nursing diagnose
42
2/8/2024

67. 2.Nursing diagnosis
Second step in the nursing process.
Soon after the completion of the health
history and the physical assessment, the
nurse organizes, analyzes, synthesizes, and
summarizes the data collected
determines the patient’s need for nursing
care.
67
2/8/2024
68. 2.Nursing diagnosis…
Is the process of making clinical judgments
about individual, family, or community
responses to potential or actual problem
Is the process of identification of actual or
potential health problem of the patient.
Is problem identification & gives meaning to
the data
Provides the basis for client care through the
remaining steps.
68
2/8/2024
69. Types of Nursing diagnosis
▪ Problem-focused diagnosis (Actual diagnosis)
• Is a client problem that is present at the time of the
nursing assessment.
These diagnoses are based on the presence of
associated signs and symptoms
• Three-part nursing diagnosis statement is also
called the PES format which includes the Problem,
Etiology, and Signs and Symptoms.
e.g “ineffective airway clearance related to
incisional pain as manifested by poor cough
effort”
69
2/8/2024
70. Types of Nursing diagnosis…
▪ Potential or risk nursing diagnosis
• These are clinical judgment that a problem
does not exist, but the presence of risk factors
indicates that a problem is likely to develop
unless nurses intervene.
• Components of a risk nursing diagnosis
include:
(1) risk diagnostic label, and (2) risk factors.
Examples of risk nursing diagnosis are:
• Risk for Falls
• Risk for Injury
70
2/8/2024
71. Types of Nursing diagnosis…
▪ Health promotion diagnosis (Wellness
diagnosis)
• Is a clinical judgment about motivation and desire
to increase well-being.
• Components of a health promotion diagnosis
generally
include only the diagnostic label or a one-part-
statement.
Examples of health promotion diagnosis:
• Readiness for Enhanced Spiritual Well Being
• Readiness for Enhanced Family Coping
71
2/8/2024
72. Types of Nursing diagnosis…
• Possible nursing diagnosis eg-possible chronic
low self estem
• Syndrome nursing diagnosis e.g-rape
NOTE…
• A Problem statement or diagnostic label usually has
two
parts: Qualifier and focus of the diagnosis. Qualifiers
(also
called modifiers) are words that have been added to
some
diagnostic labels to give additional meaning, limit or
specify the diagnostic statement.
72
2/8/2024
74. Types of Nursing diagnosis…
One-Part Nursing Diagnosis Statement
• Health promotion nursing diagnoses are usually written as
one part statements because related factors are always the
same:
motivated to achieve a higher level. Syndrome diagnoses
also have no related factors.
Two-Part Nursing Diagnosis Statement
• Risk nursing diagnoses have two-part statements: the first
part is
the diagnostic label and the second is the validation for a risk
nursing diagnosis or the presence of risk factors
Three-part Nursing Diagnosis Statement
• An actual or problem focused nursing diagnosis have three-
part
statements: PES format
e.g Impaired Skin Integrity related to prolonged pressure
74
2/8/2024
77. Avoiding errors when writing
Diagnostic Statements
Don’t state the nursing diagnoses using the
medical terminology; focus on the person’s
response to the medical problems;
e.g. osteomylitis related to open #
e.g. hyperthermia related to pneumonia
Don’t state two problems at the same time;
e.g. anxiety and pain
78. 2.Nursing diagnosis…
PHYSICIAN vs. NURSING DIAGNOSIS
▪ Physician diagnosis is disease focused,
for e.g.
• Ato Yidnek has pain and swelling in all joints.
Diagnostic
studies indicate that he has rheumatoid arthritis”
▪ Nursing diagnosis is holistic, considering both the
problem
and its effect on the patient and family,
for e.g.
• Ato Yidnek has pain and swelling in all joints, making
it
difficult to feed and dress himself.
• He has expressed that it's difficult to feel worthwhile
79
2/8/2024
79. 3.Planning
• Is 3rd step of the nursing process
• Involves a series of steps in which the nurse and
the
client set priorities, goals, expected out come and
formulating intervention
• During this step you identify a set of diagnoses,
set pt centered goals & prescribe nursing
interventions
80
2/8/2024
80. 3.Planning …
Includes the following activities
1. Setting priorities:-establishing a preferential
order
for nursing strategies
2. Establishing client goal/expected out come
3. Selecting nursing strategies/interventions
4. Developing nursing care plan
81
2/8/2024
81. 3.Planning …
1. Setting priorities…
The nurse establishes the priorities of the nursing
diagnoses by ranking them in order of importance
to meet the client’s immediate needs
Setting priorities
• What problems need immediate attention?
• What problems have simple solutions?
• What problems must be referred?
82
2/8/2024
83. 3.Planning …
2- Establishing client goal & desired/expected outcome
Client goals are stated in terms of the patient behavior
and
time period in which they are to be achieved.
✓ These goals must be realistic, measurable, and spec
indicate a definite time frame for achievement and
consider patients desired and resources.
84
2/8/2024
84. 3.Planning …
85
▪ Examples of measurable verbs: state that,
report that,
demonstrate, perform, identifies, adapt,
increase, decrease
– Patient will ambulate using cane within 48hrs
after surgery
– Patient will identifies nutritional needs within
36hrs
2/8/2024
85. 3.Planning …
3. Selecting nursing strategies(intervention or action)
- Selecting nursing intervention and activities are actions that
nurse performs to achieve client goals.
- The specific strategies chosen should focus on eliminating
or
