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

2.6K
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...

Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

9.7K
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...

The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health Informatics
  • Health Services Research
  • Information Science

Background:

  • The National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO) has conducted national assessments of local health department (LHD) informatics since 2009.
  • Public health informatics is a rapidly evolving field requiring regular assessments of needs and capacities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the detailed methodology of the 2015 Informatics Needs and Capacity of Local Health Departments (LHDs) survey.
  • To provide a comprehensive, country-wide assessment of current LHD informatics needs and capacities.

Main Methods:

  • A 9-member advisory committee guided the study design.
  • The survey instrument covered demographics, infrastructure, skills, workforce development, EHRs, and HIE.
  • The survey was pretested (20 LHDs) and pilot-tested (30 LHDs) before administration.
  • Stratified random sampling selected 650 LHDs; 324 usable responses were received (50% response rate).
  • Statistical weights were developed to address response rate and sampling design.

Main Results:

  • The 2015 survey represents the third national quantitative assessment of LHD informatics.
  • Detailed methodology is outlined, including instrument development, sampling, administration, and weighting.
  • The study provides essential data for understanding the current state of public health informatics.

Conclusions:

  • The 2015 Informatics survey is a vital resource for understanding LHD informatics.
  • The methodology ensures a nationally representative dataset for informed decision-making.
  • This assessment supports strategic planning for public health informatics initiatives.
