Nursing Process
|
Analyze your head to toe assessment findings in the section above. List three abnormal findings. (3) 1. 2. 3. Determine a priority concern for your resident. Explain why you chose this. Remember concerns are not a medical diagnosis. (2) |
|
Create a plan related to your priority concern. What is the goal? What outcome are you striving for to promote, maintain or restore your resident’s health? Be specific and discuss outcomes that you believe are obtainable during your 4 week clinical experience. It should be something you are able to do or assist with as the student nurse. (2) |
|
Take action. Determine three nursing interventions that address your priority concern and provide rationale on how the interventions promote your resident’s health. Discuss how they will be implemented. These should come from a medical reference. (6) Cite reference 1. 2. 3. |
|
Evaluate the effectiveness of each intervention for your priority assessment concern. Did the intervention promote, maintain or restore health? (3) 1. 2. 3. |
|
Evaluate the overall progression towards the goal for your priority concern for your assigned resident. Was the goal achieved? Why or why not? Would you keep this goal or change it? (1) Make sure you address each question. |
