Nursing practice encompasses several key components, including:
1. Assessment: Systematic and comprehensive collection of patient data to understand their health status. 2. Diagnosis: Identification of actual or potential health problems based on assessment data. 3. Planning: Development of individualized care plans with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals. 4. Implementation: Execution of the care plan through interventions and treatments. 5. Evaluation: Continuous assessment of patient outcomes to determine the effectiveness of the care plan and make necessary adjustments.
