4. DEFINITION
• Nursing Process is a critical thinking
process that professional nurses use to apply
the best available evidence to care giving
and promoting human functions and
responses to health and illness.
5. The nursing process is cyclical & its
components follow a logical sequence,
but more than one component may be
involved at one time. At the end of the
first cycle, care may be terminated if
goals are achieved, or cycle may
continue with reassessment or plan of
care may be modified.
6.
7. Purpose of Nursing Process
• To identify Clients health status and potential
health care problems.
• To establish plans to meet identified needs.
• To deliver specific nursing interventions to
meet those need.
• To achieve continuity of care.

9. Characteristics of Nursing Process
• Cyclic.
• Dynamic Nature.
• Client Centred.
• Focus on problem solving & decision making.
• Universal applicability.
• Use of critical thinking & clinical reasoning.
• Data from each phase provide input into the
next phase.

12. 1. Assessment
• Assessment is the systematic & continuous
collection, organization, validation and
documentation of data (information).
• TYPES
i. Initial Nursing Assessment
ii. Problem focused Assessment
iii. Emergency Assessment
iv. Time-lapsed Assessment
13. 1.1 Collection of Data
Process of gathering
information about
clients health status.
TYPES OF DATA
a. Subjective Data
b. Objective Data
SOURCES OF DATA
a. Primary source
b. Secondary source
METHOD OF DATA
COLLECTION
a. Observation
b. Interview
c. Examination
14. 1.2 Organize Data
• The nurse uses a format that organizes the
assessment data systematically. This is often
referred to as nursing health history or
nursing assessment form.
15. 1.3 Validate Data
• The information gathered during the
assessment is “double-checked” or verified
to confirm that it is accurate and complete.
16. 1.4 Documentation Of 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.
18. 2. NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• In this phase, nurses use critical thinking
skills to interpret assessment data to
identify client problems.
• North American Nursing Diagnosis
Association (NANDA) define or refine
nursing diagnosis.
19. • The status of nursing diagnosis are Actual,
Health Promotion and Risk.
1. An actual diagnosis is a client problem that is
present at the time of the nursing assessment.
• Example:
Impaired thermoregulation related to infection
as evidenced by increased body temperature.
20. A health promotion diagnosis relates to
clients’ preparedness to improve their
health condition.
Example:
Deficit knowledge related to disease outcome
as evidenced by frequent asking of question
by the patient.
21. • A risk nursing diagnosis is a clinical
judgement that a problem does not exist,
but the presence of risk factors indicates
that a problem may develop if adequate
care is not given.
Example:
Risk for infection related to prolong
hospitalization.

30. 3. PLANNING/INTERVENTION
• Planning involves decision making and
problem solving.
• It is the process of formulating client
goals and designing the nursing
interventions required to prevent,
reduce, or eliminate the client’s health
problems.
32. 3.1 Prioritize Problems
• Planned by deciding which nursing
diagnosis requires attention first, which
second and so on.
• Nurses frequently use Maslow’s
Hierarchy of Needs when setting
Priority.
33.
34. 3.2 Establishing Goal
After establishing priorities, the
nurse set goals for each nursing
Diagnosis. Goals may be short
term or long term.
35. 3.2 Nursing Intervention
A Nursing intervention is any treatment
that a nurse performs to improve
patient’s health.
Types Of Nursing Intervention:
• Independent Intervention
• Dependent Intervention
• Collaboration Intervention
36. 3.4 Writing Intervention
• After choosing the appropriate
nursing interventions, the nurse
writes them on the care plan.
• Nursing care plan is written or
computerized information about the
client’s care.

40. 5. EVALUATION
• Evaluation is a planned, ongoing, purposeful
activity in which the nurse determines
a. the client’s progress toward achievement of
goals/outcomes and
b. effectiveness of the nursing care plan.
• The evaluation includes
• Comparing the data with desired outcomes
• Continuing, modifying, or terminating the
nursing care plan.
