4. A Hospital may be soundly organized,
beautifully situated and well equipped,
but if the
nursing care is not of high quality
the hospital will fail in its’
responsibility.
- Jean Barrett
5. Nursing process
Nursing
Unique function of the nurse is to assist the
individual, sick or well, in the performance of
those activities contributing to health, or its
recovery, (or to peaceful death) that he/she would
have performed unaided if he/she had the
necessary strength, will or knowledge and to do
this in such a way as to help him/her gain
independence as rapidly as possible
-Henderson, 1966, p. 15
8. Unique function of Nurse…
In a passage so lovely that it is almost poetry,
Henderson translates this unique function:
“The nurse is temporarily the consciousness of the
unconscious,
the love of life for the suicidal,
the leg of the amputee,
the eyes of the newly blind,
a means of locomotion for the infant,
knowledge and confidence of the young mother, and
the voice for those too weak or withdrawn to speak”.
9. Process:-
Process (Nursing) is not what the nurse does,
but it is the methodby which the
nurse practices.
Nursing process…
10. Nursing process…
It is a systematic method by which nurses
plan and provide care for clients.

and evaluate nursing care in an orderly,
scientific manner.
11. The framework of the nursing process
enables the nurse to focus on client
needs and to apply the broad Base of
nursing knowledge in an organized
fashion.
Nursing process…
12. Thus, The Nursing Process…
An “organizational framework” for the
practice of nursing
Orderly, systematic
Central to all nursing care
Encompasses all steps taken by the nurse
in caring for a patient
13. Definition of the Nursing Process
An organized sequence of problem-solving
steps used to identify and to manage the

19. Something to think about:
Nurses are responsible for a unique
dimension of healthcare – “ the diagnosis
and treatment of human responses to
actual or potential health problems”
20. MARTHA ROGERS,
NURSE THEORIST
“When an apple is cut, others see
seeds in the apple. We, as nurses,
see applesin the seeds.”

component of professional
accountability and quality nursing
care.
Critical thinking is careful, deliberate, and
goal directed.
24. Steps of the Nursing process
1.
Assessment
1.
Assessment
Data collection
History and
physical examination
Assessment
27. Nursing diagnosis
A clinical judgment about individual, family, or
community responses to actual or potential
health/life processes.
Nursing diagnosis provide the basis for
selection of nursing interventions to achieve
outcome for which nurse is accountable.
28. Nursing Diagnosis
Terminology used by professional nurses that
identifies actual, risk or wellness responses to a
health state, problem or condition
Terminology used by professional nurses that
identifies a person’s, family’s, or community’s
motivation and desire to increase wellbeing and
actualize human health potential
30. Nursing Diagnosis: Definition
The NANDA definition of a nursing diagnosis
was adapted from a national, Delphi study by
Dr. Joyce Shoemaker (1984)
Nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about
individual, family, or community responses to
actual or potential health problems/life processes.
Nursing diagnoses provide the basis for selection
of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for
which the nurse is accountable (NANDA, 1997).
31. Suggested Revision to Definition of
Nursing Diagnosis (2008)
A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment that
nurses make about individual, family and
community responses to conditions/life
processes. Based on that judgment, the nurse
is responsible for monitoring of client
responses, decision-making culminating in a
plan of care, and implementing interventions,
including interdisciplinary collaboration and
referral as needed. The nurse is wholly or
partially accountable for the achievement of the
desired outcomes.
32. Medical Vs. Nursing Diagnosis
Medical diagnosis describes a disease or
pathology of specific organs or systems
that treatment focuses on correcting or
preventing.
Nursing diagnosis is actual, possible, or
wellness of human response to a health
problem that nurses are responsible for
treating independently.
33. Nursing diagnosis describes client’s
response to disease process,
developmental stage or life process and
provide a way to communicate nursing
interventions.

36. Medical Diagnosis
Terminology used by physicians and
advanced practice nurses (nurse
practitioners) for a clinical judgment that
identifies or determines a specific disease,
condition, or pathological state
37. Characteristics of Nursing Diagnosis
Nursing diagnosis provide a means for
communicating nursing requirements for
client care to other nurses, the health care
team, and public.
Nursing diagnostic labels can serve as short
hand for specific client problems.
Making accurate nursing diagnosis helps to
ensure that individual get quality nursing
care.
38. Nursing diagnosis increases the specificity of
nursing interventions for the receiver of care.
A cluster interpretation is synthesis of clue
clusters.
Diagnostic validation occurs in two stages:
Comparing the cluster with norms
Evaluating the specific nursing diagnosis for its
particular research base.

Low priority – blood
E.g. ER case –placenta previa pt.
(wheels within wheel)
Outcome identification…
64. High priority:-
Life threatening situations
Difficulty in breathing
Consent before test
Something that needs immediate attention
Preparation for a test
Impending discharge
Something that is very important to the client

consequences
Physical / emotional impairment but not likely to
threaten life
Fatigue
Stress incontinence

from assessment data
Outcome identification…
66. Low priority:-
Problems that could be resolved easily with
minimal interventions
Have little potential to cause significant
dysfunction for the client

Post-operative pain, client refusing to ambulate
Ambulation is priority for nurse, where as pain is priority
for client.
Therefore, care to be given after discussion with
client.

CBE : Charting By Exception
85. CBE—What is it?
Charting by exception (CBE) is a shorthand
method of documenting normal findings,
based on clearly defined normals, standards
of practice, and predetermined criteria for
assessments and interventions. Significant
findings or exceptions to the predefined
norms are documented in detail.
Murphy and Burke, 1990
86. Benefits of CBE
Standards allow for consistent quality of care
and documentation within organization
Abnormal findings are highlighted
Repetitive documentation of routine care is
eliminated through use of standards
documentation time
