Nursing Process

The nursing process consists of 5 steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. It is used as a systematic method to provide individualized, holistic care for clients in any healthcare setting. The purpose is to achieve scientifically-based care and allow nurses to collaborate with clients and other professionals to ensure continuity of care. Assessment involves collecting comprehensive or focused data on the client's physical and psychosocial status from various sources. This data is analyzed to formulate a nursing diagnosis, which identifies issues the nurse can address. Goals and interventions are then planned and implemented, and their effectiveness is evaluated to determine if outcomes were met.
