The nursing process is the basis for our practice.The nursing process is important for us to appropriately assess and intervene. We may think that it is not necessary to utilize but it guides our actions and reactions to patients. Our interventions come from nursing diagnosis. That is our language. It is how we categorize our patients needs. Do you consciously use the nursing process and diagnosis every shift? Give an example.

For example, a person suffering from seizure need a careful nursing diagnosis to find out the exact cause of the seizure activity. The nursing diagnosis involves the assessment of suffocation, trauma, ineffective airway clearance, low-self esteem. It has to be monitored carefully by the shift nurse or the patient might fall into fatal conditions. This situation emphasizes the importance of nursing diagnosis to plan the nursing interventions for the patient. The nursing diagnosis must be performed during each shift by the shift nurse to track and monitor changes in the vital signs and apply nursing interventions when required by the patient.

Step-by-step explanation

1)The process of nursing encourages accountability for clinical activities, thus encouraging quality control and the delivery of adequate healthcare.

2)It supports competency, clinical decision making, critical thoughts in healthcare. It reflects on the outcomes and supports performance evaluation.

3)Initially, the nursing process was an evolved version of a problem-solving methodology focused on the empirical study that nurses use every day to support people enhance their wellbeing, and help physicians manage patients.

4)It is mainly targeted at recognizing the actual or future health situation and concerns of the patients.

5)The steps involved in the nursing process must be properly done by the nurse because it reflects the health care interventions and problems in the patient.

6)The diagnosis of patients must be accurate so that the concerns of the patients are sorted out in the process of nursing. Although it involves first processes, nursing diagnosis always plays a major role in the nursing practice.
