There are several types of assessments in nursing:
1. Initial Assessment: Conducted when the patient is first admitted. It establishes a baseline for future assessments. 2. Focused Assessment: Targeted towards specific issues or systems, usually based on patient complaints or medical history. 3. Ongoing Assessment: Repeated at regular intervals to monitor changes in the patient’s condition. 4. Emergency Assessment: Quick and focused assessment during critical situations to identify life-threatening conditions.
