1. NURSING PROCESS is a series of organized steps designed for nurses to

provide excellent care. It has five phases, including assessing, diagnosing,
planning, implementing, and evaluating.

2. ASSESSMENT is the gathering of information about a patient's

physiological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual status by a licensed
Registered Nurse. Nursing assessment is the first step in the Nursing process.
Nursing assessment is used to identify current and future patient care needs.

3. DIAGNOSIS is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community

experiences/responses to actual or potential health problems/life processes.
Nursing diagnoses are developed based on data obtained during the nursing
assessment.

4. PLANNING includes within it a set of actions the nurse will apply to

resolve/support nursingdiagnoses identified by nursing assessment.
Care plans make it possible for interventions to be recorded and their
effectiveness assessed. Nursing care plansprovide continuity of care,
safety, quality care and compliance.

5. IMPLEMENTATION is the phase in which the nurse implements the nursing

interventions. ... Definition: Implementing consist of doing & documenting the
activities that are the specific nursing actions needed to carry out the
interventions.

6. EVALUATION is enhancing the evaluation of nursing care effectiveness.

Evaluating the effectiveness of nursing care is necessary for developing a
sound knowledge base to guide practice. Several studies have been
conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing care or interventions in
producing the desired outcomes.

7. Difference between SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE DATA

In nursing, subjective data refers to information from a patient's point of
view, such as pain levels, feelings and perceptions, whereas objective data
refers to measurable aspects of a patient's condition found through
diagnostics, tests and examination.
8. Caregiver
The care afforded depends on the needs and requirements of a patient.
Patients are at different stages of illness, thus, some need more attention and
care than others. This might include total care which entails doing everything
for the patient. The care might also entail helping a patient with the
prevention of an illness. Furthermore, nurses have an obligation to care for a
patient holistically. Holistic care implies that a whole person is more
important than the sum of their parts. This means that care ought to address
cultural, spiritual, and mental needs concurrently.

Decison maker
A nurse is a decision maker for the client and is ought to use his/her critical
thinking skills to come up with the most significant outcomes for the
patient. Some of these critical thinking skills entail evaluating a patient,
recognizing the problem, and implementing interventions that promote the
health of a patient. A nurse must always use his judgment to determine what
is in the best interest of the patient.

Communicator
Effective communication in the healthcare system can improve outcomes in
the healthcare environment. If the communication is not effective, the
healing process will be inhibited. A nurse has the responsibility of devising
the best strategies for communicating to the patient as well as family
members. Once this is done, the healing process will be expedited.

9. Manager of care
Nurses play an integral role in the management of care. The objective of
management is to ensure that the care afforded to the patient is cohesive. It
is their responsibility to coordinate care provided by the various players to
ensure that all the needs of the patient are being met. The various players
entail both professionals and non-professionals.
Patient advocate
This role has been described as the most important of the nursing roles. This
role entails protecting the rights of the patient. For instance, when a patient
is sick, they are unable to act as they normally would. Thus, it is the
responsibility of the nurse to determine what a patient wants.

Teacher
Nurses must also act as a teacher. Being a teacher to the patient entails
 assisting patients in gaining knowledge about their health and medications.
More often than not, patients will be confused about certain steps and
procedures. It is their obligation to set the patient straight in such instances.
For those patients who possess an Ehic Card, nursing will be availed to them
at a subsidized rate in the European Union.

10.CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION

In 1995-1997, NONPF facilitated the work of the National Task Force on
Quality Nurse Practitioner Education (NTF) to develop the Criteria for
Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs. This multi-organizational task
force established the goals to 1) develop standardized criteria for evaluation
of NP programs, 2) pilot test the criteria as a self-study document, 3) develop
an implementation/ dissemination plan for the criteria, and 4) seek
endorsement of the criteria from participating organizations and other
selected nursing organizations. The work was funded in part by the Division
of Nursing, Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services
Administration, Department of Health and Human Services. The NTF
completed and released the first edition of the evaluation criteria in 1997.

The multi-organizational NTF conducts periodic review and updating of the

Criteria for Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs. The review process is
part of the NTF's commitment to ensure that the document retains its
currency and also to provide the opportunity to refine the wording and
include additional elaboration, as necessary, to enhance clarity.
