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 Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Summary

Nurses often use work-arounds for patient care, especially in infection control and medication management. High workload is a key factor influencing these deviations from standard policies and procedures.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Patient Safety
Healthcare Quality

Background:

Healthcare professionals must promote policies for safe, high-quality care.
Nurses sometimes deviate from policies to achieve patient care goals, creating work-arounds.
Understanding these deviations is crucial for improving care delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify common nursing work-arounds in clinical settings.
To describe factors influencing nurses' engagement in work-arounds.
To gather observations from fourth-year baccalaureate nursing students.

Main Methods:

A descriptive qualitative approach was employed.
Data were collected from a Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)-based assignment.
Analysis included 96 individual student assignments.

Main Results:

Common work-around themes identified were infection prevention and control and medication management.
The primary influencing factor identified by students was nurse workload.
Work-arounds represent deviations from established policies and procedures.

Conclusions:

Workload significantly influences nurses' use of work-arounds.
Further research is needed to understand the impact of work-arounds on patient outcomes.
Addressing workload may reduce the need for work-arounds and improve patient safety.
