During the planning step of the nursing process, the nurse prioritizes the nursing diagnoses and identifies short- and long-term goals that are realistic, measurable, and patient focused, with specific outcome identification for evaluation purposes. During the assessment step, patient care data are gathered through observation, interviews, and physical assessment. The implementation step includes initiating specific nursing interventions and treatments designed to help the patient achieve established goals or outcomes. In the evaluation step, the nurse determines whether the patient's goals are met, examines the effectiveness of interventions, and decides whether the plan of care should be discontinued, continued, or revised. |
