NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL VIDEO, INC.TM The Nursing Process The nursing process is a systematic method of problem solving. It is called a "process" because it is ongoing. The steps of the nursing process are as follows:

Assessment: This is the systematic and continuing collection of information from multiple sources. Assessment begins when a nurse initially interviews a client and the client’s significant others. A physical assessment of the client involves collecting information from a number of sources: laboratory data, direct observations, assessing the client’s ability to carry out daily activities, noting signs observed by nursing personnel and symptoms reported by the client and any client responses to interventions. In long term care, resident assessment instruments are used to provide a comprehensive multi-disciplinary assessment. Problem Identification or Nursing Diagnosis: Assessment data leads to identifying client strengths and client problems. These may be actual problems the client currently experiences, or potential problems that may occur with that client in the future. When nursing diagnosis statements are used, problems are stated and an indication of an influencing factor or cause is included in the statement.

Planning: The next step the nurse will complete, with input from other care providers, is to focus on client goals (or outcomes). For each problem, a measurable, specific goal is identified. The plan includes nursing actions, based on nursing theory, nursing science, other sciences, research findings and experience through practice. The beliefs and values of the nursing profession in combination with the values of the client are taken into account in the establishment of the nursing care plan.

Implementation: Carrying out the nursing care plan. Evaluation: This is the component of the process where client goals and related outcome are evaluated to determine if they were met. The nursing care plan is revised accordingly. Evaluation may also identify additional resources that are needed for the client or the health care provider while continuing to utilize the nursing care plan. Professional Nursing Roles As the nurse carries out the nursing process, the nurse enacts a variety of professional roles. These are: clinician

teacher

client advocate

leader

These roles may overlap. In the clinician role, the nurse may provide direct "hands on" care, or may assess a client's needs and direct others to provide services to meet those needs. The nurse may conduct patient and family teaching in a teaching role. The nurse may also teach other health professionals when a multidisciplinary team addresses the client's needs. The nurse is a client advocate when collaborating with the client, finding resources for the client, and acting on behalf of the client. The nurse is a leader when planning and assigning the care of a client to others, maintaining overall responsibility and accountability for that care, assisting other members of the health care team to set and meet goals or when providing resources to other health care providers.
