Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Fundamentals of Nursing Process I

The nursing process is the core of practice for every registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care. The following are the five steps in the nursing process.

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process.

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

Using Visual and Narrative Methods to Achieve Fair Process in Clinical Care

Area of Science:

Nursing Science
Healthcare Paradigms
Philosophy of Care

Background:

The nursing discipline utilizes the unitary-transformative paradigm, focusing on humanbecoming, holism, and authentic presence.
Hospital nursing often adheres to the medical paradigm, prioritizing regulatory compliance, standardized electronic health records, and evidence-based practice for patient safety.
Nursing is viewed as a moral enterprise centered on patient well-being and ethical care within complex systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the tension between the unitary-transformative nursing paradigm and the prevalent medical paradigm in hospital settings.
To question the specific good nursing aims to promote and its unique contribution to patient care.
To propose a new mnemonic to guide nursing practice and theory.

Main Methods:

Conceptual analysis of nursing paradigms and theories.
Examination of the influence of the medical paradigm on hospital nursing practice.
Introduction of a novel mnemonic framework: Recognizing, Connecting, Partnering, and Reflecting.

Main Results:

Identified a divergence between nursing's theoretical underpinnings (unitary-transformative) and its practical application in hospitals (medical paradigm).
Highlighted the need for nursing to define its unique contributions beyond the scope of the medical model.
Presented a new mnemonic to potentially reorient nursing language, theory, and practice.

Conclusions:

The medical paradigm's dominance in hospitals challenges nursing's core values and unique contributions.
Nurses must articulate and promote the specific good they bring to patient care.
The proposed mnemonic offers a framework for nurses to enhance their practice, emphasizing recognition, connection, partnership, and reflection.
