Nursing Process - ANSWERstep by step approach directed at planning and
providing pt care.
Data collection(assessment), Planning, Implementation, Evaluation
Step 1 Noticing - ANSWER-Identifying signs and symptoms
-gathering complete and accurate data
-assessing systematically and comprehensivly
-predicting and (managing) potential complications
-identifying assumptions
Identifying signs and symptoms - ANSWERIndicates when a situation is normal,

Gathering complete and accurate data - ANSWERData collected from all available
sources is used as the basis for identifying issues, problems, concerns. Must verify
