Stages of the Nursing Process
Consider the main stages of the nursing processused in international and Russian practice.
Stage I - nursing examination of the patient . The nurse is engaged in the collection, analysis and evaluation of subjective and objective information about the patient.
Stage II - nursing diagnostics . The nursing diagnosis is fundamentally different from the medical diagnosis and is a designation of the patient's problems.
Stage III - setting goals and planning the scope of nursing interventions . The nurse together with the patient determines the desired outcome of care.
IV stage — implementation of nursing interventions - Implementation of the patient care plan.
Stage V - final assessment of the results of nursing care:
- comparison of achieved and planned;
- assessment of the effectiveness of the activities that were planned, based on the analysis of the comparison;
- in the absence of the desired result, further assessment and planning of the actions of the nurse;
- critical analysis of all five stages of the nursing process, making the necessary adjustments to the further tactics of the nurse.
All stages of the nursing process are reflected in the nursing history of the disease.
