The Nursing Process

The Nursing Process consists of the progression of the nursing behaviors when providing nurse care and implementation.

Assessment

Involves the gathering of both subjective and objective data about the client’s condition and health status.

Analysis

Involves interpreting and analyzing the data that was obtained during the assessment phase.

Planning

Involves making and design ing strategies to correct and or solve problems during the assessment and analysis

Implementation

Involves initiating and implenting the plan od care. The nurse may perform the care, assist, teach or supervise the client or th client’s family.

Evaluation

Involves determining the results and the effectiveness of the nursing interventions.

Assessment will always come before implementation. But unless it is a PRIORITY question, then that rule does not apply.

I learned it ADPIE! or Assessment of da pie…Quick Notes: Assess only what you can EAT. Diagnosis by Nurses only-no medical. Plan for the patient. Intervene-what are you going to do for them. Evaluate how they did. Hope this helps.

How to tell the difference in the assessment of subjective vs objective. I always think Subjective of as what the subject or person is telling you. Objective I always think what you observe.
