In planning, the registered nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives

to attain expected outcomes. During assessment, the registered nurse collects comprehensive
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
data pertinent to the patient’s health and/or the situation. In diagnosis, the registered nurse

analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses or issues. During implementation, the

registered nurse implements (carries out) the identified plan.

previous level of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now

practice in home health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
patient’s clinical situation as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
competent nurse understands the organization and specific care required by the type of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish long-range goals. A
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
nurse who has had some level of experience with the situation is an advanced beginner.

meaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.

Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of

independent nursing interventions without medical orders. To obtain licensure in the United
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
States, the RN candidate must pass the NCLEX-RN. Beyond the NCLEX-RN, the nurse
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
maychoose to work toward certification in a specific area of nursing practice. Accountability

reason for routine care activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care activities,
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
reinforce learning or patient behavior, and evaluate the patient’s progress in learning. As

a patient advocate, you protect your patient’s human and legal rights and provide assistance

in assertingthese rights if the need arises. As a caregiver, you help patients maintain and

regain health, manage disease and symptoms, and attain a maximal level function and

independence through the healing process.
