The SDM process typically involves several key steps:
Introduction: The nurse introduces the concept of SDM and explains its importance. Information Exchange: The nurse provides detailed information about the patient's condition and available treatment options. Deliberation: The nurse and patient discuss the options, considering the patient's values, preferences, and lifestyle. Decision: Together, they make an informed decision that aligns with the patient's goals and preferences. Implementation: The chosen plan is put into action, with the nurse providing support and monitoring progress.
