COURSE OUTLINE

The nursing process course assist nurses in helping patients with non-complex healthcare issues worldwide through applications of developed knowledge and skills as well proper management.
NURSING PROCESS

I. ASSESSMENT

- This is the first stage that involve nurses using systematic ways to collects and analyze data about the patient.
- During the process, the nurse will attempt to identify the problem and establish a database through conducting an interview of the individual or family members.
- Data can be collected in a subjective way, i.e. data which cannot be measured directly and may include verbal information such as asking questions, obtaining verbal feedback, interviewing other related individuals therefore gathering information on patient's health history.
- Data can also be measured in objective wayi.e. measurable, therefore measuring a patient's weight, blood, pressure, heart rate and body temperature.
- In order to identify and come up with accurate data from this step, make sure the identified data is clear, concise, and consistent.

II. NURSING DIAGNOSIS

 In this process, the nurse's clinical judgment about the patient's response to actual or potential health conditions needs.
- It illustrates that the patient is in pain but the pain has caused the patient problems such as activity intolerance, Anxiety, Poor nutrition, hypothermia, sleepdeficit.
- Once a diagnosis has been performed any potential risks that may cause complications or harm to the individual should be placed in order with the highest risk listed as the top priority and lower risk being addressed later in the list.
- With identification of problems and correction of new arising ones, continuous assessment of the individuals' condition should be performed on a regular basis.
- After problem identification the next process is planning.

III. PLANNING

- This the process that nurses perform after assessment and diagnosis and involves development of a plan and establishment of SMART goals in order to achieve desired patients' outcomes such as improving cardiovascular function and reducing pain.ordia improving cardiovascular function.
- Smart goals are specific, measurable, attainable, and realistic and time restricted. These goals are developed to provide apatient with a sure set of activities that are designed to improve their conditions.
- Goals can be long term or short term depending on the diagnosis and should focus on the patient outcome.
- A care plan and intervention strategies can as well be applied, developed and communicated to the team in order to maximize success of the plan.
- These includes the steps and strategies that need to be taken so as to achieve the desired goals.
- After the development and establishment of interventions, care plan and SMART goals, an implementation should be administered.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION

- The implementation of nursing care in relation to the care plan, so continuity of care for the client during hospitalization and the preparation for discharge needs to be assured.
- This phase may be performed using a combination of direct and indirect care.
- The direct care, is administered directly to the patient in a physical and verbal manner and may include: assisting patient with mobility, performing physical care and range of motion exercises with the patient as well as assisting with day to day living activities, counselling and providing feedback to the individual.
- The indirect one involves supervision of medical staff, delegating responsibilities and advocating for the individuals.
- The medical staff and individual receiving the care should reevaluate and question the steps and procedures that may appear to be inappropriate, non-actionable and questionable in order to ensure its safe and corresponds with the medical team and patients' goals.

V. EVALUATION

- This is the last phase of the nursing process.
- In entails the assessment and evaluation of the success of the planning and implementation process by medical professionals to ensure progress of individuals towards achieving desired outcomes and goals.
- If the process is not working, it is reassessed and determined whether it needs to be modified or eliminated.
- Both patients' status and effectiveness of the nursing care must be continuously evaluated and the care plan modified as needed.
- Evaluation should be performed throughout the nursing process on a regular basis, so as to make assessments and adjustments where necessary.
