ASSESSMENT 11/27/2014 11/27/2014 22 22 ASSESSMENT IS THE DELIBERATE AND SYSTEMATIC COLLECTION OF DATA TO DETERMINE A CLIENT’S CURRENT AND PAST HEALTH STATUS AND FUNCTIONAL STATUS AND TO DETERMINE THE CLIENTS PRESENT AND PAST COPING PATTERNS (Carpenito-Moyet, 2005) NRS320 Collings2012
DATA COLLECTION 11/27/2014 11/27/2014 23 23 • SUBJECTIVE DATA • “THE PATIENT STATES” • “I feel …” • OBJECTIVE DATA • MEASURABLE DATA • TEMPERATURE • PULSE • RESPIRATIONS • What you see NRS320 Collings2012
ASSESSMENT DATA WHERE DOES THE NURSE OBTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO DEVELOP A CARE PLAN FOR THE PATIENT? PATIENT FAMILY INFORMATION SYSTEMS (PT. CHART) REPORT (NURSE TO NURSE) Physical Assessment 11/27/2014 24 NRS320 Collings2012
What next? • Organize data - by system, problem, etc. • Identify Subjective & Objective data • Identify abnormal findings, links between information • E.g. c/o pain, hx of injury, current condition of wound, treatments used, pain scale rating • Nursing student, mother of 2 toddlers, PT work all fit in “roles” or ‘stressors’ w/ coping strategies, statements [“I am too busy to be sick”] NRS320 Collings2012
ASSESSMENT DATA SUBJECTIVE Nurses report (second hand assessment information) Patient statements “In quotes” Family statements “In quotes” OBJECTIVE X-Ray shows ……. Lab results are …… What you see History from chart 11/27/2014 26 NRS320 Collings2012
NURSING DIAGNOSIS 11/27/2014 11/27/2014 28 28 • NURSING DIAGNOSIS CLASSIFIES HEALTH PROBLEMS WITHIN THE DOMAIN OF NURSING • DOMAIN • A REALM OR RANGE OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE AND RESPONSIBILITY NRS320 Collings2012
NURSING DIAGNOSIS • A NURSING DIAGNOSIS IS A CLINICAL JUDGMENT ABOUT INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, OR COMMUNITIES AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ACTUAL AND/OR POTENTIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS OR LIFE PROCESSES • (NANDA International, 2007) NRS320 Collings2012
Nursing Diagnosis • Provides the basis for selecting nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable • Both a label for the description and the action of describing the patient’s problems NRS320 Collings2012
Purpose of the Nursing Diagnosis • Purpose: ID problems, synthesize info from assessment by: • Analyzing data • ID patient strengths • ID normal [baseline] functional level and • Indicators of actual or potential dysfunction Formulate a diagnostic statement NRS320 Collings2012
Your judgment • The Nursing Diagnosis is where you share your decisions about what the patient’s PRIORITY Problems are; what are the causes [Etiology- R/T]; and what are the Symptoms [AEB] • When you begin, use plain English • Then find the NANDA diagnosis and language NRS320 Collings2012
How to Choose a Nsg. Dx • Identify patterns [in data] • Validate the diagnosis • Formulate the statement using nursing language, within domain of nursing NRS320 Collings2012
Nursing Diagnosis • Language provides means of communication between nurses • Taxonomy: classification system [NANDA] • Problem, etiology • Leads naturally to planning, goal setting and evaluation NRS320 Collings2012
The Rules • N.D. is different than medical diagnosis • Medical DX describes disease/pathology • Nursing DX describes patient response • Actual, risk, or wellness • Areas that nurses treat independently • Collaborative Problems: M.D. and RN involved – not in independent nursing • RN can ID problem, communicate, Treat w/ M.D NRS320 Collings2012
Sample data collection • HR 80 B/P 140/78, sPO2 95% on RA, temp 103F [oral] • Pt c/o dizziness • Skin is intact, flushed, warm/hot, dry to touch • Pt reports he was working outside, mowing lawn for 3 hours; “had a couple of beers” • Outside temp 97, humidity 17% • Pt is 22 year old male • Caucasian, appears stated age, Ht/Wt//BMI WNL NRS320 Collings2012
Example Data Set Cont. • Slept well last nt; ate usual food in a.m.; none since 8 a.m. Hx of Rt rotator cuff repair last year, immunizations up to date; describes self as ‘healthy’. No previous similar problems NRS320 Collings2012
Example – Nsg. Dx • Pt with temp 103 F, dry, flushed skin, c/o dizziness, tachycardia • Open to interpretation [judgment] • Fever? Infection? Something else…. • “Fever” doesn’t tell us much • Interventions? Antipyretic? Antibiotics? • “Hyperthermia r/t environmental stressors and overexertion AEB dry, flushed skin, temp 103F and “dizziness” tells us what is going on and what we think caused the problem… NRS320 Collings2012
N.D. • …. And leads us to goals and interventions Hyperthermia r/t environmental stressors and overexertion AEB dry, flushed skin, temp 103F and “dizziness” Environment and overexertion are things to educate pt about, control if possible NRS320 Collings2012
N.D. and goals • R/T …overexertion AEB dry, flushed skin, temp 103F and “dizziness” • Clues toward goals and interventions • Pt will.. have temp WNL, …report absence of dizzy feeling, ..demonstrate understanding of risks of overexertion in heat.. increase fluid intake at work [by …] NRS320 Collings2012
N.D. and Interventions • Etiology [R/T] leads us to appropriate interventions • NO antipyretics, antibiotics – wrong etiology for this ‘fever’ • Hydrate, change environment, cool pt, educate re: risks and need for H2O NRS320 Collings2012
Nsg. Dx resources • Care plan Book • NANDA List [Craven p 209-210] Start with plain English THEN find NANDA DX With use, language will come more easily • PRACTICE! NRS320 Collings2012

Priorities • ABC’s • Safety • Pain • Pretty universal priorities – apply to most all situations • Actual Diagnoses before Risk Dx NRS320 Collings2012
POTENITIAL NURSING DIAGNOSES SAFETY [Risk for injury] R/T confusion, history of falls, impaired mobility SKIN INTEGRITY [risk for or actual impaired] R/T Pressure/ischemia 2* to immobility, delicate skin /age, tissue trauma PAIN [acute] R/T Tissue damage, swelling 2* to FRACTURED HIP 11/27/2014 47 NRS320 Collings2012

PES Diagnosis [for actual problems] • Acute Pain R/T tissue trauma AEB c/o pain >6/10, fractured Rt hip • Tells us [etiology] Tissue Trauma [which we see (symptom) as a fracture on X-ray] is causing PAIN (Problem) We also know because the pt says he is in pain (Symptom) NRS320 Collings2012
