The Nursing Process

Nursing is not simply a collection of specific skills, and the nurse is not simply a person who performs specific tasks. Nursing continues to evolve into a profession.

Nursing originated with the desire to keep people healthy and provide care to the ill. Nursing is as old as medicine.

The term “nursing process” was first introduced in 1955. Nursing process is a systematic method for providing personal care for clients in all states of health.

The nursing process has five interrelated steps: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation. During the assessment phase, the nurse gathers information about the client to identify client problems (health history, results of physical examination, laboratory data). During the nursing diagnosis step, the nurse analyzes collected information and formulates the nursing diagnosis. During the planning step, the nurse and the client plan expected results and nursing care. During the implementation step, the nurse performs nursing actions and gives nursing care to the client. The evaluation step allows the nurse and client to evaluate the success of nursing care through achievements of client goals and expected results.

The purpose of the five-step nursing process are to establish a client data base; identify the client health care needs; determine goals, expected results, proper care; establish a nursing care plan; perform nursing actions; determine the effectiveness of nursing care.

The Examination of the Patient

Before treating the patient the doctor must make a correct diagnosis of the disease and determine its causes. The doctor must know well the development of the disease and reveal its symptoms.

The doctor uses different procedures to make a diagnosis:

• history-taking,

• physical examination ( visual examination, palpation, percussion, auscultation)

• laboratory studies ( urinalysis, blood, sputum and other analyses)

• instrumental studies ( taking electrocardiograms, X-ray examination)

To determine a disease it is important to know its symptoms such as breathlessness, edema,

cough, vomiting, fever, haemorrhage, headache and others. Some of these symptoms are objective, for example, haemorrhage or vomiting, because they are determined by objective study. The other symptoms are subjective, such as headache or dizziness, since they are evident only to the patient.
