Types of Assessment - Answers comprehensive, episodic or problem-focused, emergency
comprehensive assessment - Answers (initial) results in baseline data for problem identification
and care planning, time consuming, complete, all aspects of preventive health/physical disease
episodic/problem-focused assessment - Answers based on the patient's health issues, involves
one or two body systems. smaller scope, but more in depth
What is the nursing process? - Answers systematic problem-solving approach to identifying and
treating human responses to actual or potential health difficulties. patient centered and focuses
on problem solving and inhaling strengths. uses ADPIE
emergency assessment - Answers involves life threatening or unstable situation, traumatic
injury, uses ABCDE
ABCDE - Answers airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure
ADPIE - Answers assessment of patient, nursing diagnosis, planning care, implementing and
then evaluating patients status
implementation - Answers collaboration with other team members, involvement of patient and
family, actually doing the phase
evaluation - Answers how effective is nursing care and each phases affects the other
nursing diagnosis vs medical diagnosis - Answers medical focuses on diagnosis and treatment
of disease whereas nursing focuses on the human response to actual or potential health
problems
assessment - Answers establish baseline, review history, physical assessment
diagnosis - Answers clustering of data to make a judgement or statement about the patient's
difficulties or condition
Nanda diagnosis for nursing - Answers a clinical judgement about individual, family, or
community responses to actual or potential health difficulties/life processes. Provides the basis
for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable
