Nursing process
Nursing process
Nursing process is the critical thinking
process that professional nurse use to
apply the best available evidence to
caregiving and promoting human functions
and responses to health
-American nurses Association ,2019
Steps of nursing process
Nursing process is a systematic series of 5
steps these are :
• Assessment
• Nursing diagnosis
• Outcome / planning
• Implementation
• Evaluation
Steps of nursing process
1. Assessment
• Assessment is the first step of the nursing
process .It involves the use of critical
thinking skills for data collection :
• Subjective data
• Objective data
• Subjected data are information perceived
only by the affected person it includes
feelings , perceptions , and self report of
symptoms .The data sometimes reflects
physiological changes which can be
explore through objective data collection
• example: feeling nervous ,nauseated or
chilly and experiencing pain
• Objective data ;These are observable
and measurable data that can be seen
,heard ,felt or measured by someone
other than the person experiencing them .
• The measurement of objective data is
based on an accepted standard such as
degree F or C
• Example :elevated temperature reading
(e.g.,102 degree F) ,skin that is moist
,refusal to look at or eat food .It is also
called as signs or overt data
2. Nursing diagnosis :
Nursing diagnosis is defined as a clinical
Judgement about individual ,family, or
community responses to actual and potential
health /life processes .Nursing diagnosis
provides the basis for selection of nursing
interventions to achieve outcomes for which the
nurse is accountable .
-North American nursing diagnosis Association ( NANDA) ,1993
Types of nursing diagnosis
• problem focused nursing diagnoses or
actual nursing diagnoses
• Risk nursing diagnoses or potential
nursing diagnoses
• Health promotion nursing diagnoses or
wellness nursing diagnoses
• Syndrome diagnoses
1. Actual nursing diagnoses describes
human responses to health conditions or
life processes that exist in an individual
,family or community .
• It is the clients actual problem present at
the time of assessment and it is based on
signs and symptoms
• Example : ineffective breathing pattern
• Disturbed sleep pattern
2. A risk nursing diagnoses describes
human responses to health condition or
life processes that may develop in a
vulnerable individual ,family or
community
• It has no subjective or objective cues
Example : risk for infection
• Risk for injury
3. Health promotion nursing diagnosis is
clinical judgement of a person’s ,
family’s or community’s motivation
,desire and readiness to increase well
being and actualize human health
potential as expressed in their readiness
to enhance specific health behaviors such
as nutrition and exercise .
• Example : readiness for enhanced
family coping
• Readiness for enhanced self esteem
4. A syndrome diagnosis is a cluster of
signs and symptoms ,which represents
complex clinical conditions requiring
expert nursing assessment and expert
nursing interventions
• Example : rape trauma syndrome ,disuse
syndrome ,post trauma syndrome
Components of nursing diagnosis
• It has typically 3 components
• The problem(diagnostic label )/definition
• The etiology and cause
• The defining characteristics
1. Problem
• The problem status describes the client
health status problem or response for
which nursing therapy is given and it
should be specific
• Each diagnostic label approved by
NANDA carries a definition that clarify
its meaning
Qualifiers : are words that have been added
to some NANDA label to give additional
meaning to diagnostic statement :
• Deficit chronic
• Impaired imbalanced
• Ineffective interrupted
• Decreased compromised
• Acute high risk
2. Etiology( related factors or risk
factors )
• Identifies one or more probable cause of
the health problem ,give directions to
nursing therapy
Problem
Constipation
Anxiety
Etiology
Long term laxative use ,inactivity and
insufficient fluid intake .
Threat to physiological integrity
possible cancer diagnosis
3. Defining characteristics
• The cluster of signs and symptoms that
indicate the presence of particular
diagnostic label
• Actual diagnosis :client sign and
symptoms
• Risk diagnosis : no subjective signs are
present
Formulating diagnostic statement
• One part statement
• Two parts statement
• Three parts statement
One part statement
• The diagnostic label are defined and tend
to become more specific ,the interventions
can be derived from the label itself
….etiology may not be needed .
• Syndrome and wellness diagnosis consist
NANDA label only
• Example :Rape trauma syndrome
• Spiritual well being
Two parts statement
• 1.problem : statement of clients response
• 2.etiology :factor contributing to or probable
cause of responses
• “ Related to” phrase implies a relationship
• Example :Constipation related to insufficient
fluid intake
• Acute pain related to presence of surgical
incision
Three parts statements ( also called as
PES format )
• Problem
• Etiology
• Sign and symptoms
• Actual nursing diagnosis can be
documented by using three part
statement not for risk diagnosis
How to write a diagostic statement
related to evidenced by
# patients problem cause /related factor signs and
( etiology ) symptoms
# : priority based ( according to maslow’s hierarchy)
Patient problem or diagnostic label : NANDA approved
statement
Eg: ineffective breathing pattern related to decreased lung
expansion as evidenced by dyspnoea or coughing difficulty
Nursing care plan on :
Chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD)
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
1. Ineffective airway clearance related
to excessive mucus production as
evidenced by abnormal respiratory
sound and difficulty in breathing
2. Impaired gas exchange related to
decreased lung function as evidenced by
low oxygen saturation level .
3. Ineffective breathing pattern related to
increased airway resistance as
evidenced by rapid breathing .
4. Imbalanced nutrition , less than body
requirements related to difficulty in
breathing and decreased appetite as
evidenced by poor dietary pattern .
5. Activity intolerance related to shortness
of breath as evidenced by fatigue and
limited physical activity
6. Risk of infection related to weakened
immune system and frequent
respiratory infection as evidenced by
elevated wbc count
7. Knowledge deficit related to lack of
understanding of COPD and its
management as evidenced by patients
questions and concern .
7. Self-care deficit related to limited
ability to perform activities of daily
living as evidenced by difficulty with
grooming and dressing .
9. ineffective coping related to chronic
illness as evidenced by depression and
anxiety .
