Why is Assessment Important?

Assessment is crucial because it helps in accurately diagnosing a patient's condition, which is the first step in delivering effective care. It enables nurses to:
Identify health problems and potential complications early.
Establish a baseline for future comparisons.
Inform and guide nursing interventions.
Evaluate the effectiveness of those interventions.
Without a proper assessment, the risk of misdiagnosis and inappropriate care increases, potentially leading to adverse outcomes for the patient.
