1. NURSING HEALTH ASSESSMENT
2.PLANNING
Once a patient and nurse agree on the diagnosis, a plan of action can be developed. If multiple diagnoses need to be addressed, the Head nurse will prioritize each assessment and devote attention to severe symptoms and high factors. Each problem is assigned a clear measurable goal for the expected beneficial outcome. For this phase, nurses generally refer to the evidence based nursing outcome classification, which is asset of standardized terms and measurements for tracking patients’ wellness. The nursing intervention classification may also be used as a resource for planning.
2. IMPLEMENTATON
The implementing phase is where the nurse follows through on the decided plan of action. The plan is specific to each patient and focuses on achievable out comes. Actions involved in the nursing care plan include monitoring the patient for signs of change or improvement directly caring for the patient or performing necessary medical tasks, educating and instructing the patient about further health management, and referring or contacting the patient for follows. Implementation can take place over the cause of hours, days, weeks, or even months.
Nursing care and treatment is a formal process that involves the following components: -
Risk for Infection Next, by implementing the VAP bundle, it did help to prevent further decline. All aspects of the bundle should be continued; the Heparin, sequential compression devices, oral care, Pepcid, and all other bundle activities. Having the head of the bed up was essential to prevent VAP, but it did end up making her body move to the foot of the bed. Pillows were used to help keep her further up and off the side of the bed.
As a result, this adjustment in practice should be prioritized. The third phase is to build a team to develop, evaluate, and implement the change in practice. The team should comprise nursing and non-nursing professionals and stakeholders from the organization or unit. This team should be in charge of developing,

404). A competent nurse can “begin to see his or her actions in terms of long-range goals or plans” (Benner, 1982, p. 404). I believe in my nursing career I have reached this stage. When a patient comes in with a specific complaint, I can anticipate what will happen and what the doctor will order even before the doctor comes in to see the patient. For example I know a person that has a complaint of chest pain will need an electrocardiogram, troponin, cardiac monitor and depending on the patient medications, aspirin.
As assessment is integral to the nursing process it is also incorporated into nursing models. Assessment is necessary during all nursing activities e.g. assisting an individual with their hygiene needs, taking observations or during repositioning/manual handling techniques. Orem’s model is a particularly effective tool in carrying out assessment as it has a practical approach in identifying patients’ needs by encompassing their universal, developmental and health deviation self-care deficits. ‘’Having a conceptual nursing model to practice may enable nurses to gather a detailed database that identifies actual and potential healthcare problems’’ (Capers, 1986). The grid, checklist format is a simple, fast and straightforward assessment guide and can be very useful in practice.
RTI is the practice of providing a systematic approach to interventions that are matched to the student’s needs. (NASDE). It is a three tier approach that is designed to encourage academic success, utilizing problem solving strategies that are research based. The school nurse will play a role in all three tiers of intervention. The role of the school nurse is to assess and determine the level of care needed for students with health issues affecting their ability to learn.
This care involves preventing the condition from getting worse. For example, if a patient has diabetes, you try to keep their blood sugar within a certain range and not get too high or too low. Nurses are trying to prevent the condition from getting worse.
In collaboration with other medical personnel, nurses engage in the development and enactment of patient care plans. Furthermore, they provide education to families and groups on various health issues such as disease prevention, among others. Scope of Practice The nursing scope of practice gives a precise definition of the strict duties of a registered nurse practitioner. It is obligatory for these professionals not to engage in medical activities that go beyond their scope of practice.
• Assessment: Nurses often feel uninformed when changes are made. Not being made aware of important changes can affect patient care. • Nursing Diagnosis: Communication breakdown due to ineffective delivery of new changes related to patient care. • Goal setting: Implement an education book that is placed near the nurse 's station and nurses are responsible to read the changes and sign off when they have read it. • Evaluation: Nurses are better informed and are up to date with new

Nursing assessment has a significant role in providing effective, accurate and safe nursing care in clinical practice. Nursing assessment is the first stage of the Nursing Process. It is used to explore the physical, psychological, spiritual and social aspect of the patient’s life. It is therefore a holistic and systematic guide for nurses to obtain a greater understanding of their patient’s wants and needs. It is the underlying foundation of the process, on which other phases of the process are based upon (Foster & Hawkins, 2005).
Importance of nurses A nurse is a health care professional who is engaged in the practice of nursing. Nurses are men and women who are responsible (along with other health care professionals) for the treatment, safety and recovery of acutely or chronically ill or injured people, health maintenance of the healthy, and treatment of life-threatening emergencies in a wide range of health care settings. Nurses may also be involved in medical and nursing research and perform a wide range of non-clinical functions necessary to the delivery of health care. Nurses develop a plan of care, sometimes working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, the patient, the patient 's family and other team members.
