The problem-solving process in nursing is systematic and involves several steps:
1. Assessment: Gathering comprehensive information about the patient's condition through observation, interviews, physical examinations, and reviewing medical records. 2. Diagnosis: Analyzing the assessment data to identify the patient's problems or potential problems. This involves forming a nursing diagnosis. 3. Planning: Developing a plan of care with specific goals and interventions tailored to address the nursing diagnosis. 4. Implementation: Executing the plan of care by performing the necessary interventions. 5. Evaluation: Assessing the effectiveness of the interventions and modifying the plan as needed.
