Fundamentals of Nursing Process I

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.

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...

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...

Nursing Assessment

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Simulation
Competency Assessment

Background:

The annual nurse competency assessment at Orlando Regional Medical Center required improvement in method and efficiency.
Existing assessment protocols may not adequately capture essential nursing skills.

Purpose of the Study:

To revise the annual nurse competency assessment process for improved method and efficiency.
To enhance the evaluation of population-specific nursing competencies.

Main Methods:

A multidisciplinary team developed simulation-based scenarios for competency evaluation.
The revised assessment focused on population-specific competencies.
An individualized and efficient approach was adopted, bundling resources.

Main Results:

High participant satisfaction scores were achieved with the revised assessment.
Significant cost savings were realized due to the new approach.
The simulation-based scenarios effectively evaluated nurse competencies.

Conclusions:

The revised nurse competency assessment is effective and efficient.
Simulation-based learning enhances nursing skill evaluation.
This model offers a cost-effective and satisfactory approach to competency assessment.
