What Are the Key Components of a Nursing Flowchart?
A typical nursing flowchart includes the following components:
Start/End: Indicates the beginning or end of a process. Decision Points: Represented by diamonds, these points require a yes/no or true/false answer. Processes: Represented by rectangles, these are the steps involved in the care process. Arrows: Indicate the flow or direction of the process. Inputs/Outputs: Represented by parallelograms, these indicate data input or output.
