Characteristics of nursing One step in the nursing process leads to another and the steps may even
overlap. In Karolina's case, the diagnosis, planning, and implementation occurred
Dynamic almost simultaneously.
Each component of the process flows both forward and backward into the other.
Characteristics of nursing The nurse, patient (and the patient's family) and other healthcare team members
collaborate to meet the patient's needs. For instance, though Karolina decreased
Interpersonal the ventilation support per the physician's order and at the
request of the patient's family, as soon as Mrs. Duncan exhibited a change in her
blood pressure and oxygen saturation, Karolina understood that the patient still
needed increased ventilator support
The nurse and the patient come together with the shared goal of identifying
patient needs and problems and addressing the needs and resolving the
problems. It is a
mutually collaborative process.

Characteristics of nursing The process is outcome-oriented and each intervention is
designed to help meet the outcome. For Karolina, the outcome is to enable Mrs.
Outcome-oriented Duncan to breathe on her own, and Karolina intervened to control the symptoms
that were preventing the patient from achieving this outcome.
In the nursing process, there is a focus on making decisions regarding
appropriate actions, setting goals in response to patient needs, intervening
successfully, and then
evaluating if the goal or outcome has been achieved.

Characteristics of nursing Each step has its own inherent system, and then logically leads to the next step.
Systematic: As noted earlier, the steps of the nursing process are cyclic in nature. They are,
however, also systematic. Each has characteristics or attributes that contribute to
the previous or next step and to the process as a whole.
Characteristics of nursing The language used for nursing diagnoses is universally
understood.
Universally Applicable:
Nurses use a particular language or classification system when identifying
nursing diagnoses in response to patient problems. All nurses recognize this
language, which
aids in the understanding of nursing as a science distinct from other sciences
such as medicine
Characteristics of the nursing process The process is dynamic, interpersonal, outcome-oriented, systematic, and
universally applicable.
Assessment The assessment step focuses on the processing and communication of patient
data. This includes both the interview and head-to-toe assessment.
Assessment requires collecting data, validating it, and reporting and recording it.
