What are the five steps of the nursing process? - ANSWER >>1)
Assessment
2) Diagnosis
3) Planning
4) Implementation
5) Evaluation
What is the purpose of the nursing process? - ANSWER >>to
identify, diagnose, and treat human responses to health and illness
verbal information from the patient, family members, friends, or
other sources, including symptoms described by, and apparent to,
the patient - ANSWER >>subjective data
signs that are directly measured or detected by another person
regarding the patient's health - ANSWER >>objective data
allows health care providers to establish the baseline data needed to
individually tailor medication therapy - ANSWER >>pre-
administration assessment
three goals specific to a particular drug - ANSWER >>1) establish
baseline measurements
, 2) anticipate adverse effects
3) identify high-risk patients
applies to all drugs but may be more critical for some drugs than for
others - ANSWER >>4) determine self-care capacity
used to modify need to be determined to evaluate whether or not
this response is achieved - ANSWER >>baseline measurements of
the parameters of the drug
usually known; baseline measurements can help providers determine
if one has occurred - ANSWER >>adverse effects of a medication
-determined by individual characteristics
-individual characteristics that predispose a patient to an adverse
reaction depend on the drug under consideration
-cannot determine without understanding pharmacology of the
medication. - ANSWER >>high-risk patients
-evaluated to determine ability to understand and effectively used
medications
-If the nurse determines that the patient is unable to do so,
alternative arrangements must be made. -A thorough assessment will
identify these factors, thereby allowing the nurse to account for them
when formulating nursing diagnoses and a care plan. -
