This document provides an overview of critical thinking and the nursing process. It defines critical thinking as an organized cognitive process used to carefully examine one's own and others' thinking. Critical thinking aims to make evidence-based judgments rather than rely on assumptions. The nursing process involves assessing clients, diagnosing actual or potential health problems, planning and implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes. Effective use of critical thinking and the nursing process requires gathering and analyzing client data, considering various options, and making well-reasoned clinical decisions.
The principal goal of education is to create men and women . . .who have minds which can be critical, can verify, and not accept everything they are offered.

gud evening guys
this is descrive you that this ppt is making very simple way and i hope this will help you to understand lightky about nursing theories
we communicate when we talk and also when we don't talk. the sharing of ideas, thoughts, perceptions, belief between two individuals (client and nurse) which will help nurse to provide effective care and treatment to the client.
Presentation 10 displays the professional ways to act, react, and remain professional above all else. Nurses have once again been voted as the "most honest and trusting" profession. And this is how you do it...
Critical Thinking is a complex process and new topic included for novice nurses. i hope this presentation will enhance and be helpful in understanding critical thinking

Thinking is a mental process which produces thoughts. Reasoning is a mental p...VandanaGaur15
Thinking and reasoning are two mental processes between which a key difference can be discerned. Thinking encapsulates a large arena of thought production that can be either conscious or unconscious. On the contrary, reasoning is limited to the conscious production of mental thought with the use of logic. As you can see from the very definitions themselves, unlike reasoning, thinking is not always logical, nor is it conscious.Thoughts allow people to organize their ideas and feelings. It can also be considered as one of the basic factors that underlie human behavior. When we think it helps us to make sense of the work around us and interpret it in our own way. In this sense, thinking is extremely beneficial to people to deal with day to day occurrences and realize their ambitions. According to psychologists, thinking can be both a conscious process and sometimes an unconscious process as well. Of the various branches of psychology, cognitive psychology focuses the most on thinking or thought processes. Cognitive psychologists study how the thought process changes as individuals reach different stages in life from childhood to adulthood.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
1. Overview of Critical Thinking AndOverview of Critical Thinking And
Nursing ProcessNursing Process
(Fundamentals of Nursing)(Fundamentals of Nursing)
Palwasha khan
(BSN College of Nursing
NMU)
2. Definition
Critical thinking is an active, organized, cognitive process
used to carefully examine one’s thinking and the thinking of
others.
Purposeful, goal-directed thinking aiming to make
judgments based on evidence rather than conjecture. It is
based on principles of science & the scientific method &
develops strategies that maximize human potential &
compensates for problems caused by human nature
3. Critical thinking is the process of intentional
higher level thinking to define a client’s problem,
examine the evidence-based practice in caring for
the client, and make choices in the delivery of care.
Clinical reasoning is the cognitive process that
uses thinking strategies to gather and analyze client
information, evaluate the relevance of the
information, and decide on possible nursing actions
to improve the client’s physiological and
psychosocial outcomes.
4. Why do we need to think critically?
Need to make accurate and appropriate clinical
decisions
Need to solve problems and find solutions
Need to plan care for each unique client and client
problem
Need to seek knowledge and use it to make
clinical decisions and problem solving
Need to be able to think creatively when planning
care for clients
5. Purpose of Critical thinking
The use of creativity provides the nurse with the ability to:
Generate many ideas rapidly.
Be generally flexible and natural; that is, able to change
viewpoints or directions in thinking rapidly and easily.
Create original solutions to problems.
Be independent and self confident, even when under
pressure.
Demonstrate individuality.
6. Techniques in critical thinking
These techniques include:
Critical analysis,
Inductive and deductive reasoning,
Making valid inferences,
Differentiating facts from opinions, evaluating the
credibility of information sources,
Clarifying concepts, and recognizing assumptions.
7. Applying critical thinking in
Nursing process
When a nurse uses intentional thinking, a relationship
Develops among the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are
ascribed to critical thinking and clinical reasoning, the
nursing process, and the problem-solving process
9. Problem Solving
Problem solving is a mental activity in which a problem is
identified that represents an unsteady state. It requires the
nurse to obtain information that clarifies the nature of the
problem and suggests possible solutions.
Throughout the problem-solving process the implementation
of critical thought may or may not be required in working
toward a solution (Wilkinson, 2012).
The nurse carefully evaluates the possible solutions and
chooses the best one to implement.
11. Trial and Error
One way to solve problems is through trial and error,
in which a number of approaches are tried until a
solution is found.
The use of trial-and-error methods in nursing care can
be dangerous because the client might suffer harm if an
approach is inappropriate.
However, nurses often use trial and error in the home
setting due to logistics, equipment, and client lifestyle
12. Intuition
Intuition is a problem-solving approach that relies on a
nurse’s inner sense. It is a legitimate aspect of a nursing
judgment in the implementation of care (Wilkinson, 2012).
Intuition is the understanding or learning of things without
the conscious use of reasoning. It is also known as sixth
sense, hunch, instinct, feeling, or suspicion.
As a problem-solving approach, intuition is viewed by some
people as a form of guessing and, as such, an inappropriate
basis for nursing decisions.
However, others view intuition as an essential and legitimate
aspect of clinical judgment acquired through knowledge and
experience.
13. Research Process
The research process, is a formalized, logical,
systematic approach to problem solving.
The classic quantitative research process is most
useful when the researcher is working in a
controlled situation.
Health professionals, often working with people in
uncontrolled situations, require a modified
approach for solving problems.
15. Certain attitudes are crucial to critical thinking.
These attitudes are based on the assumption that a rational
person is motivated to develop, learn, grow, and be concerned
with what to do or believe.
A critical thinker works to develop the following nine attitudes
or traits:
1) Independence,
2) Fair-mindedness,
3) Insight,
4) Intellectual humility,
5) Intellectual courage,
6) Integrity,
7) Perseverance,
8) Confidence,
9) and Curiosity.
17. Clinical reasoning is the analysis of a clinical situation as it
unfolds or develops. It requires the nurse to use cognitive and
metacognitive processes.
Cognitive processes are the thinking processes based on
the knowledge of aspects of client care. Cognitive skills are
learned through reading and applying health-related
literature.
Metacognitive processes include reflective thinking and
awareness of the skills learned by the nurse in caring for the
client. The
19. Reflection-Purposely thinking back or recalling a
situation to discover its purpose or meaning. Looking
back and reflecting on a client situation helps the nurse to
have insight and meaning in the situation.
Reflection allows the nurse to look at a situation honestly
and do some self evaluation of the situation.
When reflecting, important to remain open to new
information, knowledge, ways of doing things.
20. Language- The ability to use language and express
yourself is a reflection of the ability to think
meaningfully. Nurses must be able to use language
effectively (clearly and precisely). When language is not
well developed and the spoken word is not clear and
distinct it is a sign of sloppy thinking.
We must communicate (speak) clearly and distinctly with
all of those around us, peers, nurses, patients and
families. To critically think you must be able to organize
and focus your own thoughts.
21. Intuition- To have an understanding of the
particulars in a situation without conscious
deliberation. It is an inner sensing about a situation.
This ability to have intuition about clients come with
time and experience.
Can not use only intuition must use all types of
knowledge, cognitive and emotional cues to assess
clients and seek more info. Nurses also need to be
aware of what they do not know, and seek help
appropriately
23. Basic critical thinking- Here learner is still trusting
that the experts have the answer to every problem
and situation
Thinking is concrete and based on book, principles,
rules, policies (whatever they can read or hear
about). Lots of following the step by step (doing
bed bath).
At this point there is very limited ability to think
critically, resources include instructors, books, other
nurses.
Caution- Don’t let relying on resources limit ability
to grow, use experiences, practice, and knowledge
to grow to next level of thinking.
24. Complex Critical thinking As people grow and
become more independent thinkers the level of
critical thinking will grow. Slowly will rely less and
less on their resource people and think before asking
them, come up with the answers themselves.
As growth occurs there is a realization that there can
be more than one alternative and perhaps solution.
As nurses begin to think in more complex ways they
look at a problem from many more angles and start
weighing the risks vs benefits of each decision/
solution. They start developing the ability to be
creative, to think out of the box.
25. Commitment-The nurse starts anticipating patient
needs independently. At this level, the nurse makes a
decision based on alternatives and then stands by the
decision. The nurse assumes accountability/
responsibility for the decision and evaluates that
decision.
27. Scientific method is an approach to seeking truth or
verifying facts. SM is a formal way to approach a
problem plan a solution, test the solution, and come to a
conclusion. Science fair. Nurse might identify a problem
and seek answers with a formal approach (collecting data,
formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis,
evaluating the results.
28. Problem solving- Use problem solving all the time-
when problem is identified we seek information about the
problem and the information plus knowledge that we
already have to find solutions. Effective problem solving
means evaluating the solutions and deciding if we need to
try other solutions
29. Decision making- This happens when there are
several options or courses of action that one might
take to solve a problem or take care of a situation.
Decision making is an end point of critical thinking.
The pros/ cons or risks/benefits of each option is
weighed to make a final decision. If time is taken to
weigh each option appropriately then a well informed
decision will be the result
31. Diagnostic reasoning- It is a process of
determining a client’s health status after
gathering data and making a clinical judgment.
Part of the process involves making inferences
given data such as s/s, lab data, behaviors
(Inference is the process of drawing conclusions
given related pieces of information or data)
32. Clinical decision making- requires careful reasoning so
that the options for the best client outcomes are chosen on
the basis of the client’s condition and the priority of the
problem. Nurse identifies a problem by working with
client and then still working with client determines
priorities and nursing interventions that will best meet
goals of client.
The nurse may need to select from a wide range of
options to meet goals. Clinical decision making can be
made for individual patients or groups of patients.
35. Assessing
Assessing is the systematic and continuous collection,
organization, validation, and documentation of data
Nursing assessments focus on a client’s responses to a
health problem. A nursing assessment should include the
client’s perceived needs, health problems, related
experience, health practices, values, and lifestyles.
To be most useful, the data collected should be relevant
to a particular health problem. Therefore, nurses should
think critically about what to assess.
36. In 2008 The Joint Commission established a nursing
practice guideline stating that each client should have
an initial nursing assessment consisting of a history
and physical examination performed and documented
within 24 hours of admission as an inpatient.
The registered nurse is responsible for the collection
of comprehensive data, including physical, functional,
psychosocial, emotional, cognitive, sexual, cultural,
age-related, environmental, spiritual/transpersonal,
and economic assessments.
37. Data Collection:
Data collection is the process of gathering information
about a client’s health status. Data collection must be
both systematic and continuous to prevent the omission
of significant data and reflect a client’s changing health
status.
A database contains all the information about a client;
it includes the nursing health history physical
assessment, primary care provider’s history and
physical examination, results of laboratory and
diagnostic tests, and material contributed by other
health personnel.
38. Types of Data:
Subjective data, also referred to as
symptoms or covert data, are apparent only
to the person affected and can be described
or verified only by that person. Itching, pain,
and feelings of worry are examples of
subjective data.
Objective data, also referred to as signs or
overt data, are detectable by an observer or
can be measured or tested against an
accepted standard. They can be seen, heard,
felt, or smelled, and they frequently, or
rarely and include such data as blood
pressure, level of pain, and age.
39.
40. Sources of Data:
Sources of data are primary or secondary.
The client is the primary source of data.
Family members or other support persons, other health
professionals, records and reports, laboratory and diagnostic
analyses, and relevant literature are secondary or indirect source.
Sources of data is given as:
Client
Support people
Client report
Literature review
Healthcare professionals
41. Data Collection methods:
The principal methods used to collect data are:
1. Observing,
2. Interviewing, and
3. Examining.
Observing occurs whenever the nurse is in contact
with the client or support persons. Interviewing is
used mainly while taking the nursing health
history. Examining is the major method used in the
physical health assessment
42. Observing:
Observing is a conscious, deliberate skill that is
developed
through effort and with an organized approach.
Observing has two aspects:
a. Noticing the data and
b. Selecting, organizing, and interpreting the data
43. Example:
For example, a nurse walks into a client’s room and
observes, in the following order:
1. Clinical signs of client distress (e.g., pallor or
flushing, labored breathing, and behavior indicating
pain or emotional distress)
2. Threats to the client’s safety, real or anticipated (e.g.,
a lowered side rail)
3. The presence and functioning of associated equipment
(e.g., intravenous equipment and oxygen)
4. The immediate environment, including the people in
it.
44. Interviewing:
An interview is a planned communication or a conversation
with a purpose, for example, to get or give information, identify
problems of mutual concern, evaluate change, teach, provide
support, or provide counseling or therapy.
Rapport is an understanding between two or more people
There is three types of interviewing:
1. Focused interview
2. Directive interview
3. Non-Directive interview
45. In a focused interview the nurse asks the client
specific questions to collect information related to the
client’s problem. This allows the nurse to collect
information that may have previously been missed
and yields more in-depth information
Directive interview is highly structured and elicits
specific information. The nurse establishes the
purpose of the interview and controls the interview, at
least at the outset
Nondirective interview, or rapport building
interview, the nurse allows the client to control the
purpose, subject matter, and pacing
46. Types of interview Questions
Open ended questions
Close ended questions
Neutral questions
Leading questions
47. Examining:
The physical examination or physical assessment is a systematic
data collection method that uses observation (i.e., the senses of
sight, hearing, smell, and touch) to detect health problems.
To conduct the examination, the nurse uses techniques of inspection,
auscultation, palpation, and percussion.
The physical examination is carried out systematically. It may be
organized according to the examiner’s preference, in a
head-to-toe approach or
a body systems approach.
The cephalocaudal or head-to-toe approach begins the examination
at the head; progresses to the neck, thorax, abdomen, and
extremities; and ends at the toes.
The nurse using a body systems approach investigates each system
individually, that is, the respiratory system, the circulatory system,
the nervous system, and so on. During the physical examination, the
nurse assesses all body parts and compares findings on each side of
the body (e.g., lungs)
48.
49. Organizing Data:
The nurse uses a written (or electronic) format that
organizes the assessment data systematically. This is
often referred to as a nursing health history, nursing
assessment, or nursing database form.
The format may be modified according to the client’s
physical status such as one focused on
musculoskeletal data for orthopedic clients.
Three examples are Gordon’s functional health pattern
framework, Orem’s self-care model, and Roy’s
adaptation model.
50. Validating Data:
Validation is the act of “double-checking” or verifying data to
confirm that it is accurate and factual. Validating data helps the
nurse complete these tasks:
1. Ensure that assessment information is complete.
2. Ensure that objective and related subjective data agree.
3. Obtain additional information that may have been overlooked.
4. Differentiate between cues and inferences.
5. Avoid jumping to conclusions and focusing in the wrong
direction to identify problems.
51. Documenting Data:
To complete the assessment phase, the nurse records
client data. Accurate documentation is essential and
should include all data collected about the client’s
health status. Data are recorded in a factual manner
and not interpreted by the nurse.
For example, the nurse records the client’s breakfast
intake (objective data) as “coffee 240 mL, juice 120
mL, 1 egg, and 1 slice of toast,” rather than as
“appetite good” (a judgment).
A judgment or conclusion such as “appetite good” or
“normal appetite” may have different meanings for
different people. To increase accuracy, the nurse
records subjective data in the client’s own words,
using quotation marks.
53. Definition:
“A clinical judgment about individual,
family, or community responses to actual or
potential health problems , A nursing
diagnosis provides the basis for selection of
nursing interventions to achieve outcomes
for which the nurse has accountability.”
54. Status or types of Nursing Diagnosis
“Status of the nursing diagnosis refers
to the actuality or potentiality of the
problem/syndrome or the
categorization of the diagnosis as a
health promotion diagnosis”
(Herdman & Kamitsuru, 2014, p. 100).
55. Types/status of Nursing Diagnosis:
Actual nursing diagnosis.
Risk nursing diagnosis.
Possible nursing diagnosis.
Syndrome nursing diagnosis.
Wellness nursing diagnosis.
56. Actual nursing diagnosis:
A clinical judgment about human
experience/responses to health conditions/life
processes that exist in an individual, family, or
community". An example of an actual nursing
diagnosis is: Sleep deprivation.
57. Examples:
Decreased cardiac output related to decreased myocardial
contractility As manifested by Tachycardia , arterial heart
sound , changes in blood pressure.
Impaired physical mobility related to pain in lower back As
manifested by decreased muscle strength.
Hopelessness related to loss of social support as manifested by
apathy.
Altered nutrition: less than body requirement related to loss of
appetite as manifested by nausea and vomiting.
ineffective airway clearance related to accumulation of
secretions as manifested by altered breath sounds and shortness
of breath
58. Risk nursing diagnosis :
Describes human responses to health conditions that may
develop in a vulnerable individual. It is supported by risk
factors that contribute to increased vulnerability. An
example of a risk diagnosis is: Risk for shock.
59. Examples:
Risk for injury related to loss of sensory perception as
evidenced by patient is blind at both eyes.
Risk for infection related to compromised immune
system as evidenced by poor vaccination history
Risk for suicide related to hopelessness, increased
anxiety, as evidenced by suicidal ideation, statements of
despair.
60. Risk for decreased gastrointestinal circulation related to
acute gastrointestinal bleeding as manifested by blood in
stool.
Risk for fall related to decreased physical capability as
manifested by weakness and dizziness.
Risk for social isolation related to Absence of peers as
manifested by loneliness.
61. Possible nursing diagnosis:
A type of diagnosis in which evidence about a health
problem is not clear and requires more data either to
support or refuse it.
62. Example:
Possible stress incontinence related to tissue trauma
during delivery as manifested by during exercising ,
sneezing and standing position
Possible anxiety related to loss of spouse as
manifested by isolation.
Possible decreased gastrointestinal motility related to
sedentary life style.
63. Wellness nursing diagnosis:
A clinical judgment about a person’s, family’s or
community’s motivation and desire to increase wellbeing
and actualize human health potential. E.g : Readiness for
enhanced nutrition'.‘
64. Example:
Readiness for enhanced comfort as evidenced by express
desire to enhance relaxation
.
Readiness for enhanced spiritual well being as
evidenced by express desire for prayer and mediation.
Readiness for enhanced health mangment as
manifested by asking questions about therapeutic
regimen.
65. Syndrome nursing diagnosis:
A clinical judgment describing a specific cluster of
nursing diagnoses that occur together, and are best
addressed together and through similar interventions."
An example of a syndrome diagnosis is: Rape trauma
syndrome.
66. Example:
There is only two syndrome diagnosis on the NANDA list
are:
- Rape trauma syndrome.
- Disuse syndrome.
67. Disuse syndrome includes cluster of diagnosis as:
Impaired physical mobility , risk for ineffective
tissue integrity, risk for activity intolerance , risk for
infection, Risk for constipation , risk for injury , risk
for powerlessness , risk for hopelessness
69. Nanda labels/qualifiers:
labels or Qualifiers are words that have been added to some
NANDA labels to give additional meaning to the diagnostic
statement, for example:
Altered : A change from baseline.
Impaired: made worse , weakened damaged.
Decreased : smaller in size , amount or degree.
Ineffective: Not producing the desired effects.
Acute : sever or short of duration.
Chronic: Lasting a long time , recurrent.
Compromised (to make vulnerable to threat)
70. How to make Nursing
diagnosis:
Steps involves:
Conduct a nursing assessment
Cluster and interpret cues/patterns
Generate Hypotheses.
Validation & Prioritization of Nursing Diagnoses
71. Parts of diagnostic statement:
1- Two part statement includes:
- Problem
- Etiology
2- Three part statements:
- Problem
- Etiology
- Defining characteristics.
72. Problem Related to Etiology
1- Clonic
Constipation Related to Prolonged
laxative
use.
2- Ineffective Related to Breast
Breastfeeding Engorgement.
73. 1- Self esteem disturbances related to rejection by
husband as manifested by Hypersensitivity to
criticism.
2- Impaired physical mobility related to pain in
lowerbackas manifested by decreased
muscle strength.
74.
75. Errors occur in nursing

78. Scenario 1:
Mr Woods is admitted with COPD. He is short of
breath, anxious, cyanosed, confused and has a respiratory
rate of 40. All of these symptoms began yesterday when he
suddenly found it difficult to breath.
Medical diagnosis: COPD
Nursing Diagnosis?
79. Scenario 2:
Subjective data:
“I am suffering with the difficulty to eat and drink due
to sever throat pain associated with the pain and fever”
Objective data:

Tonsils are swollen and skin is warm and poor turgor.
Medical Diagnosis: Tonsilitis
Nursing Diagnosis?
80. Scenario 3:
Mr. Nelson is 55 years old male admitted in the
hospital 24 hours ago , with the complain of sever
chest pain radiating to left arm and jaw , He has
shortness of breath and decreased pulse and Blood
pressure is 90/40 mmHg
Medical diagnosis: Myocardiatis.
Nursing diagnosis?
82. Planning:
Planning is a deliberative, systematic
phase of the nursing process that
involves decision making and problem
solving.
In planning, the nurse refers to the
client’s assessment data and diagnostic
statements for direction in formulating
client goals and designing the nursing
interventions required to prevent, reduce,
or eliminate the client’s health problems
83. Planning begins with the first client
contact and continues until the nurse–
client relationship ends, usually when
the client is discharged from the health
care agency.
All planning is multidisciplinary
(involves all health care providers
interacting with the client) and includes
the client and family to the fullest extent
possible in every step
85. Initial planning:
Admission assessment based on the initial
care.
As nurse obtains new information and
evaluate the client responses to care, they
can individualize the initial care further.
86. Ongoing planning:
As nurses obtain new information and
evaluate the client’s responses to care,
they can individualize the initial care
plan further.
Ongoing planning also occurs at the
beginning of a shift as the nurse plans
the care to be given that day.
87. Using ongoing assessment data, the nurse carries
out daily planning for the following purposes:
1. To determine whether the client’s health status
has changed
2. To set priorities for the client’s care during the
shift
3. To decide which problems to focus on during the
shift
4. To coordinate the nurse’s activities so that more
than one problem can be addressed at each client
contact.
88. Discharge planning:
Discharge planning, the process of
anticipating and planning for needs
after discharge, is a crucial part of a
comprehensive health care plan and
should be addressed in each client’s
care plan
89. Developing nursing care plan
The end product of the planning phase of the
nursing process is a formal or informal plan of
care:
1. An informal nursing care plan
2. Formal nursing care plan
3. Standardized nursing care plan
4. An individualized nursing care plan
90. An informal nursing care plan:
An informal nursing care plan is a strategy for action that exists in
the
nurse’s mind.
Formal nursing care plan
A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that
organizes information about the client’s care. The most obvious
benefit
of a formal written care plan is that it provides for continuity of care.
Standardized care plan
It is a formal plan that specifies the nursing care for groups of
clients
with common needs (e.g., all clients with myocardial infarction).
Individualized care plan
It is tailored to meet the unique needs of a specific client—needs
that
are not addressed by the standardized plan.
91. Guidelines for writing nursing care plan:
1. Date and sign the plan
2. Use category heading
3. Use standardized/approved medical or English symbols and
key words rather than complete sentences to communicate your
ideas unless agency policy dictates otherwise
4. Be specific
5. Refer to procedure books or other sources of information rather
than including all the steps on a written plan
6. Ensure that the nursing plan incorporates preventive and health
maintenance aspects as well as restorative ones.
7. Ensure that the plan contains ongoing assessment of the client
8. Include collaborative and coordination activities in the plan.
9. Include plans for the client’s discharge and home care needs.
92. The planning process:
In the process of developing client care plans, the nurse engages in
the following activities:
1. Setting priorities
2. Establishing client goals/desired outcomes
3. Selecting nursing interventions and activities
4. Writing individualized nursing interventions on care plans.
93. 1. Setting priorities:
It is the process of establishing preferential sequence
for addressing the nursing diagnosis and intervention
The client and nurse decides which nursing diagnosis
requires attention primarily and secondary and so on
instead of rank ordering diagnosis, nurse can group
them as high, medium and low priority
Requires minimal nursing support.
94. High priority: Life-threatening problems, such as
impaired respiratory or cardiac function, are
designated as high priority.
Medium priority: Health-threatening problems, such
as acute illness and decreased coping ability, are
assigned medium priority because they may result in
delayed development or cause destructive physical or
emotional changes.
A low-priority problem is one that arises from normal
developmental needs or that requires only minimal
nursing support.
95. Nurses frequently use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
when setting priorities .
In Maslow’s hierarchy, physiological needs such as
air, food, and water are basic to life and receive higher
priority than the need for security or activity. Growth
needs, such as self-esteem, are not perceived as
“basic” in this framework.
Thus, nursing diagnoses such as Ineffective Airway
Clearance and Impaired Gas Exchange would take
priority over nursing diagnoses such as Anxiety or
Ineffective Coping
96. The nurse must consider the following factors
when assigning priorities given as:
1. Client’s health values and beliefs
2. Client’s priorities
3. Resources available to the nurse and client
4. Urgency of health problem
5. Medical treatment plan
97.
98. 2. Establishing client goals and desired outcomes:
After establishing priorities, the nurse and client set
goals for each nursing diagnosis.
Goal (broad): Improved nutritional status.
Desired outcome (specific): Gain 5 lb by April 25.
When goals are stated broadly, as in this example, the
care plan must include both goals and desired
outcomes. They are sometimes combined into one
statement linked by the words “as evidenced by,” as
follows:
Improved nutritional status as evidenced by weight
gain of 5 lb by April 25.
99. Purpose of goals or desired outcome:
1. Provide direction for planning nursing
interventions.
2. Serve as criteria for evaluating client progress.
3. Enable the client and nurse to determine when the
problem has been resolved.
4. Help motivate the client and nurse by providing a
sense of achievement.
100. Short term and long term Goals:
Goals may be short term or long term. A short-term
goal might be “Client will raise right arm to shoulder
height by Friday.” In the same context, a long-term
goal/outcome might be “Client will regain full use of
right arm in 6 weeks.”
Short-term goals are useful for clients who
(a) require health care for a short time or
(b) are frustrated by long-term goals that seem
difficult to attain
However, clients in acute care settings also need long-
term goals/outcomes to guide planning for their
discharge to long-term agencies or home care,
especially in a managed care environment.
101. 3. Selecting nursing interventions and
activities:
Types of nursing interventions:
Independent interventions: activities that the nurses
are licensed to initiate i.e. physical care, ongoing
assessment counseling, emotional support,
environmental management.
Dependent interventions: activities carried out
under physician order I.e. medication, diagnostic test,
dietary intake.
Collaborative interventions: nurses carried out in
collaboration with other team members such as
physiotherapies, social workers, dietitians, physicians
etc.
104. Implementation:
Using Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC)
terminology, implementing consists of doing and
documenting the activities that are the specific nursing
actions needed to carry out the interventions.
The nurse performs or delegates the nursing activities
for the interventions that were developed in the
planning step and then concludes the implementing
step by recording nursing activities and the resulting
client responses
105. recording nursing activities and the resulting client
responses. The fifth standard of the American Nurses
Association (ANA) Standards of Practice is
implementation.
Three of the implementation substandards apply to all
registered nurses: coordination of care, health teaching
and health promotion, and consultation. The fourth
substandard, prescriptive authority and treatment,
applies only to advanced practice nurses (ANA, 2010).
107. The cognitive skills (intellectual skills) include problem
solving, decision making, critical thinking, clinical
reasoning, and creativity. They are crucial to safe,
intelligent nursing care
Interpersonal skills are all of the activities, verbal and
nonverbal, people use when interacting directly with
one another
Technical skills are purposeful “hands-on” skills such
as manipulating equipment, giving injections,
bandaging, moving, lifting, and repositioning clients.
108. The implementation process:
The process of implementing normally
includes the following:
1.Reassessing the client
2.Determining the nurse’s need for
assistance •
3.Implementing the nursing interventions •
4.Supervising the delegated care
5.Documenting nursing activities.
109. 1. Reassess the client:
Just before implementing an intervention, the nurse
must reassess the client to make sure the intervention is
still needed. Even though an order is written on the
care plan, the client’s condition may have changed.
For example, a client has a nursing diagnosis of
Disturbed Sleep Pattern related to anxiety and
unfamiliar surroundings. During rounds, the nurse
discovers that the client is sleeping and therefore defers
the back massage that had been planned as a relaxation
strategy.
110. 2. Determining the nurse’s need for assistance:
When implementing some nursing interventions, the nurse may
require
assistance for one or more of the following reasons:
The nurse is unable to implement the nursing activity safely or
efficiently alone (e.g., ambulating an unsteady obese client).
Assistance would reduce stress on the client (e.g., turning a
person who experiences acute pain when moved).
The nurse lacks the knowledge or skills to implement a particular
nursing activity (e.g., a nurse who is not familiar with a particular
model of traction equipment needs assistance the first time it is
applied).
111. 3. Implementing the nursing interventions
When implementing nurse should follow these guidelines:
Base nursing interventions on scientific knowledge, nursing research,
and professional standards of care whenever is possible,
Nurse must know scientific rational and side effects or complications of
all intervention e.g. drugs before meals
Clearly understands the order to be implemented and question any that
are not understood.
Adopt activities to the individual client
Provide teaching, support and comfort
Be holistic
Respect the dignity of client and enhance self esteem
Encourage client to participate actively In implementation
112. 4) Supervise delegated care:
If care has been dedicated to other healthcare
personnel the nurse responsible for all the client care
must ensure that the activities have been implemented
according to the care plan
5) Documenting Nursing activities:
The nurse completes the intervention phase by
recording the interventions and client response in the
nursing process note.
113. The nurse may record routine or recurring activities
such as mouth care in the client care at the end of the
shift, while some actions are recorded in the special
work sheets according to agency policy
Immediate recording helps to safeguard the client to
prevent double action.
115. Evaluation:
Evaluation is a planned, ongoing, purposeful activity
in which clients and health care professionals
determine (a) the client’s progress toward achievement
of goals/ outcomes and (b) the effectiveness of the
nursing care plan.
The last phase of the nursing process follows
implementation is the evaluation of the plan of care.
It is the judgment of the effectiveness of the nursing
care to meet client goals based on client’s behavioral
responses.
116. Characteristics of evaluation:
Evaluation is continuous
Done immediately after implementation to make on
the spot medications in an intervention.
Evaluation performed at specified intervals.
Evaluation continues until the client achieves the
health goals or discharged from nursing care
Evaluation includes goal achievement and self-care
abilities
Through evaluation nurses demonstrate responsibility
accountability for their actions, indicate in the result of
the nursing activities.
117. Process of evaluating client responses
1) Collecting data related to the desired outcome
2) Comparing the data with the outcome
3) Relating nursing activities to outcome
4) Drawing conclusions about problem status
5) Continuing, modifying., or terminating the nursing care plan
118. When determining whether a goal has been achieved, the
nurse can draw one of the three possible conclusions:
The goal was met, that is the client response is the same as the
desired outcome.
The goal was partially met, that is either a short term goal was
achieved but the long term was not, or the desired outcome was
only partially achieved.
The goal was not met
121. DOCUMENTATION
Any printed or written record of activities.
Recording and reporting are the major ways
health care providers communicate.
The client’s medical record is a legal
document of all activities regarding client
care.
122. Documentation: serves as a permanent
record of client information and care
Reporting: Take place when two or
more people share information about
client care either face to face or on
telephone
123. Types of Medical records:
Patient identification and demographic data
Present complains
Informed consent for treatment and procedures
Admission nursing history
Family history
Physical examination finding
Medical history
Final diagnosis
Patient education
Nursing care plan
Kardexes
Daily treatment and procedures
Flow chart

Method of evaluating the quality of care
Includes:
– Safety measures
– Treatment interventions and responses
– Expected outcomes
– Client teaching
– Discharge planning
– Adequate staffing
129. PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE
DOCUMENTATION
1. Document accurately, completely, and
objectively, including any errors.
2. Note date and time.
3. Use appropriate forms.
4. Identify the client.
5. Write in ink.
6. Use standard abbreviations.
130. 7. Spell correctly.
8. Write legibly.
9. Correct errors properly.
10. Write on every line.
11. Chart omissions.
12. Sign each entry.
132. Two types of Recording:
Source oriented Medical Records
Problem oriented Medical Records
133. 1. SOURCE ORIENTED MEDICAL RECORD
NARRATIVE CHARTING (TRADITIONAL CLIENT
RECORD)
▫ Most flexible of all methods and is usable in any
clinical setting.
• Five Basic components of a Traditional Client Record
admission sheet
physician’s order sheet
Medical history
Nurse’s notes
Special records and reports (referrals, X-ray,
reports, laboratory findings, report of surgery,
anesthesia record, flow sheets, vital signs, I&O,
Medications)
134. 2. Problem-Oriented medical record (POMR or
POR)
– The record integrates all data about the problem,
gathered by the members of the health team.
FOUR BASIC COMPONENTS OF POMR/POR
1. Database.
2. Problem list.
3. Initial list of orders or care plans.
4. Progress notes:

Critical pathways
137. NARRATIVE CHARTING
Traditional method of nursing documentation.
Chronologic account in paragraphs describing
client status, interventions and treatments, and
client’s response.
The most flexible system.
Usable in any clinical setting.
142. CHARTING BY EXCEPTION
Only significant findings (exceptions) are
documented in a narrative form.
Presumes that unless documented
otherwise, all standardized protocols have
been met and no further documentation is
needed.
143. COMPUTERIZED
DOCUMENTATION
Reduces time taken, increases accuracy.
Increases legibility.
Stores, retrieves information quickly.
Improves communication among health care
departments.
Confidentiality and costs can be problems.
144. CRITICAL PATHWAY
Also known as Care Maps.
Comprehensive pre-printed standard plan
reflecting ideal course of treatment for
diagnosis or procedure, especially with
relatively predictable outcomes.
Additional forms are needed to complement
the pathway.
145. NURSE’S PROGRESS NOTES
Document client’s condition, problems,
complaints, interventions, and client’s
response to interventions.
Include MAR, vital signs records, flow
sheets, and intake and output forms.
146. DISCHARGE SUMMARY
Client status on admission and discharge
Brief summary of the client’s care
Intervention and education outcomes
Resolved and unresolved problems
Client instructions about medications, diet,
food-drug interactions, activity, treatments,
follow-up, and other needs
147. Kardex
Provides a concise method of organizing and recording
data about a client, making information readily
accessible to all members of the health team
It is a series of flip cards usually kept in portable file
It is a way to ensure continuity of care from one shift to
another and from one day to the next
It is a tool for change – of – shift report. But
endorsement is not simply reciting content of kardex.
Health care needs of the client is still primary basis for
endoresement.
148. Usually include the ff. data:
– Personal data
– Basic needs
– Allergies
– Diagnostic tests
– Daily nursing procedures
– Medications and intravenous (IV) therapy, blood
transfusions
– Treatments like oxygen therapy, steam inhalation,
suctioning, change of dressings, mechanical
ventilation.
Entries usually written in pencil. This implies the
kardex is for planning ang communication purpose
only.
149. GENERAL DOCUMENTATION
GUIDELINES
* Ensure that you have the correct client record or chart.
* Document as soon as the client encounter is concluded to
ensure accurate recall of data.
* Date and time of each entry.
* Sign each entry with your full legal name and with your
professional credentials.
* Do not leave space in between entries.
* If an error is made while documenting, use a single line to
cross out the error, then date, time and sign the correction
* Never change another person’s entry even if it is incorrect
* Use quotation marks to indicate direct client responses.
* Document in chronological order
* Use permanent ink
* Document all telephone calls that you received that are
related to client’s case.
150. Characteristic of Good Recording:
• BREVITY
– Entries are concise
– Complete sentences are not required
– Start each entry with a capital letter and end the entry
with a period even if the entry is a single word or
phrase.
• USE INK/PERMANENCE
– Avoid pencil for permanence of data, because the
client’s chart can be used as an evidence in a legal
court.
151. • ACCURACY
– Chart objective facts, not your interpretations or
opinions
– Eg.
Ate 50% of the food served.
Ate with poor appetite.
Refused medications.
Uncooperative.
Seen crying.
Depressed.
152. – Place complaint of the client in
quotation marks to indicate that it
is his statement.
“chest pain radiating down the left arm”
“nahihirapan akong huminga kapag
nakahiga”
– Objective data are also to be
charted.
E.g. skin cold and clammy. Diaphoretic.
Prefers to sit up. Vital signs taken as
follows: temp-37.6C, PR-110/min.,
RR-26/min. BP-140/90 mmHg.
153. – Describe behaviors rather than feelings to allow other
health team members to determine the actual
problems of the client.
– Refusal of medications and treatments must be
documented.
• APPROPRIATENESS
– Only information that pertains to the client’s health
problems and care are recorded.
– Any other personal information that is conveyed to
the nurse is appropriate for the record.
155. – takes place when two or more people share information
about client care , either face to face or by telephone.
Types of reporting
Walking rounds
change – of – shift reports or
endorsement
– for continuity of care
– it is based on health care needs of the client
– it is not mere reciting the content of the kardex
Telephone reporTs
– provide clear accurate and concise information
– the nurse documents telephone report by including the following
information:
• when the call was made
• who made the call/report
• who was called
• to whom information was given
• what information was given
• what information was received
156. Telephone orders
– Only RN’s may receive telephone orders
– The order need to be verified by reporting it clearly
and precisely.
– The order should be countersigned by the physician
who made the order within the prescribed period of
time (within 24 hours)
Transfer reports
– this is done when transferring a client from unit to
another.
Incident Reports or occurrence
reports
– Used to document any unusual occurrence
or accident in the delivery of client care
Editor's Notes
Diagnostic reasoning- It is a process of determining a client’s health status after gathering data and making a clinical judgment. Part of the process involves making inferences given data such as s/s, lab data, behaviors (Inference is the process of drawing conclusions given related pieces of information or data)
Clinical decision making- requires careful reasoning so that the options for the best client outcomes are chosen on the basis of the client’s condtion and the priority of the problem. Nurse identifies a problem by working with client and then still working with client determines priorities and nursing interventions that will best meet goals of client. The nurse may need to select from a wide range of options to meet goals. See Box 14-3 to see what sorts of things the nurse must do to care for groups of patients. Clinical decision making can be made for individual patients or groups of patients.
