To identify the focus, nurses can follow these steps:
1. Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s physical, emotional, and social health. 2. Diagnosis: Use clinical judgment to identify the patient’s health problems or risks. 3. Planning: Develop a care plan that prioritizes the identified issues. 4. Implementation: Execute the care plan while continuously monitoring the patient’s condition. 5. Evaluation: Assess the effectiveness of the care provided and make necessary adjustments.
