Nursing Process: A systematic, patient-centered approach used by nurses to deliver comprehensive care, consisting of five interconnected phases—Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADPIE).
Assessment: The initial phase involving the collection of comprehensive data about the patient’s health status through physical exams, interviews, and review of medical records.
Diagnosis: The clinical judgment about the patient’s health problems derived from assessment data, utilizing standardized nursing diagnoses (e.g., NANDA-I).
Planning: The development of individualized, measurable, and achievable goals and outcomes based on diagnoses, often formulated as SMART goals.
Implementation: The execution of nursing interventions designed to achieve patient goals, which can be independent, dependent, or collaborative actions.
Evaluation: The ongoing process of determining the effectiveness of interventions and modifying the care plan as necessary to meet patient needs.
