INTRODUCTION
A nurse follows nursing process to organize and follow nursing care. Use of the process allows the nurse to integrate elements of critical thinking to make judgments and to take actions based on reason. The nursing process is used to identify diagnose and treat human responses to health and illness. The process includes five steps. Assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning implementation and evaluation
Assessing is the systematic and continuous collection validation and communication of patient data. These data reflex how health functioning is enhanced by health promotion or compromised by illness or injury
DEFINITION
HEALTH
Health is a state of complete physical mental and social wellbeing and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity
ILLNESS
It is a state in which a person’s physical emotional intellectual social developmental or spiritual functioning is diminished or impaired compared with previous experience
ASSESSMENT
It is the deliberate and systematic collection of data to determine client’s current and past health status and to determine the current and past coping patterns
Every health care professional perform performs assessment to make professional judgments related to his or her client. However the purpose of nursing history and physical examination differs greatly from that of medical or other type of examinations
ELEMENTS OF ASSESMENT
Data collection Data validationData interpretation Data clusteringData documentation
PURPOSE OF NURSING ASSESSMENT
To establish a data base concerning a clients physical psychological and emotional health inorder to identify health promoting behaviors as well as actual and or potential health problems
Nursing health historyPhysical assessment Result of diagnostic and laboratory testMaterial from other health personnel
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT
INITIAL COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
An initial assessment is also called an admission assessment and is performed when the client enters the health care from a health care agency. The purpose is to evaluate the client’s health status to identify the functional health patterns that are problematic and to provide an indepth comprehensive data base which is critical for evaluating changes in the client’s health status in subsequent assessments.
PROBLEM FOCUSED ASSESSMENT
A problem focused assessment collects data about health problem that has already been identified. This type of assessment has a narrower scope and shorter time frame than the initial assessment. In focus assessments the nurse determines whether the problems still exist and whether the status of problem has changed. This assessment also includes the appraisal of any new overlooked or misdiagnosed problems. Intensive care units may perform focus assessments every few minutes.
EMERGENCY ASSESSMENT
Emergency assessment takes place in life threatening situations in which the preservation of life is the top priority. Time is of the essence in rapid identification of and interventions for the client’s health problems. Often the client’s difficulties involve airway breathing and circulatory problems. Abrupt changes in self concept or roles or relationship also can initiate an emergency. Emergency assessment focus on few essential health patterns and is not comprehensive
TIME LAPSED OR ON GOING ASSESSMENT
Time lapsed reassessment is another type of assessment takes place after the initial assessment to evaluate any changes in the client’s functional health. Nurse perform time lapsed reassessment when substantial period of time has elapsed between assessment
STEPS OF ASSESSMENT
Collection of dataValidation of dataOrganization of dataRecording and documentation of data
COLLECTION OF DATA
Gathering information about the client includesPhysical, psychological, social, emotional, cultural, spiritual factors that may affect clients health statusPast health history of clientCurrent and present health problems of the client
TYPES OF DATA
a) SUBJECTIVE DATA - also referred to as symptoms or cessations’. Information from the clients point of view is described by persons experiencing it. Information supplied by family members , significant others, other health professionals are
considered as subjective data
b) OBJECTIVE DATA Also referred to as sign Those that can be detected or measured using accepted standards or norm Mainly collected by general observation and by using the four physical examination
techniques: inspection , percussion, palpation, auscultation
SOURCES OF DATTA COLLCETION
Primary source - data directly gathered from the client using interview and physical examinationSecondary source- data gathered from clients family members significant others clients medical records chart other members of the health team and related care literature journals
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
INTERVIEW
It is a planned purposeful conversation and communication with the client to get information identify problems evaluate change to teach or to provide support or counseling. Interview consists of asking questions designed to elicit subjective data from the client or family members.
PHASES OF INTERVIEW
Preparatory phase Introduction Working phase Termination
PREPARATORY PHASE
Before initiating the interview the nurse prepares to meet the patient by reading current and past records and reports available. It is important to let know ones stereotypes and prejudice affects the nurse patient relationship
During this phase the nurse should ensure that the enviournment in which the interview is to be conducted is private and relaxed. The interview should be scheduled when both nurse and patient are free of concerns and distractions so that they are concentrate on the task
INTRODUCTION
The interview introduction is crucial because it sets the tone not only for the remainder of the interview but also for the every following nurse patient interaction. At the end of this phase of interview the patient should know the name of the primary nurse and what he or she can expect of nursing care should sense that the nurse is competent and cares about him or her and should know what is expected of him or her in terms of developing the plan of care and participating in its execution.
WORKING PHASE
During the working phase the nurse gathers information about the clients past and present health status. The nurse should begin the interview with current complaint or concern and proceed according to the identified format. The nurse should use communication skill during the interview that include both verbal and non verbal techniques that facilitate the acquisition of the data base
VERBAL TECHNIQUE
Verbal communication during the interview process requires a conscious effort on the part of the nurse. During the interview the nurse uses two types of questioning methods. Open ended and closed ended questions
OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS – the nurse uses open ended questions to elicit information from the client about the feelings concerns opinions and perceptions and to allow for the validation of both subjective and objective data
CLOSED QUESTIONS – They are questions that can be answered briefly or with one word response
REFLEXION
This is another verbal technique. Reflexion of feelings involves informing the client about the feelings that the nurse perceives the client is having. This is done to assist the client in focusing on these feelings and making him or her more aware of them
NON VERBAL TECHNIQUES
A variety of non verbal techniques can hinder or facilitate the communication processes and its effect on the nurse patient relationship. Non verbal technique involves a variety of body language, manures, including gestures, facial expressions, body positions, tone of voice, use of touch, appearance and active listening
TERMINATION
The interview concludes when the data base is obtained or when the nurse determines that the client is not able to continue. Informing the client that the interview will be ending shortly, preparing the client for conclusion. At this point no new material should be introduced by the nurse
OBSERVATION
It is used to gather the information using the five senses and instruments
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
Systemic data collections to detect health problems using unit of measurements physical examination technique and interpretation of laboratory results the assessment can be done by cephalocodal approach or body system approach
TECHNIQUES
INSPECTION
It is the visual examination of the client
GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE INSPECTION
Be systematicFully expose the area to be inspected and cover the other partsUse good light preferably natural light
Maintain comfortable room temperatureObserve color symmetry and shape of movementCompare bilateral structures for similarities and differences
PALPATION
Palpation uses the sense of touch to assess various parts of the body and helps to confirm findings that are noted on inspection. The hands especially the finger tips are used to assess skin temperature, to check pulse texture moisture etc
TYPES OF PALPATION
LIGHT PALPATION – to check muscle tone and assess for tenderness
DEEP PALPATION – to identify abdominal organs and abdominal mass
PERCUSSION
Percussion is the striking of the body surface with short sharp strokes inorder to produce palpate vibrations and characteristics sound. It is used to determine the location size and density of the underlying structures to determine the presence of air or fluid in a body surface and to elicit tenderness
Types of percussion
Direct percussion – percussion in which one hand is used and the striking finger of the examiner touches the surface being percussed
INDIRECT PERCUSSION – percussion in which two hands are used and the plexer strikes the finger of the examiners other hand which is in contact with the body surface being percussed
BLUNT PERCUSSION – percussion in which the ulnar surface of the hand or fist is used in place of the fingers to strike the body surface either directly or indirectly
AUSCULTATION
Auscultation is listening to the sounds produced inside the body. These include breath sounds, heart sounds, vascular sounds and bowel sounds. It is used to detect the presence of normal and abnormal sounds and to assess them in terms of loudness, pitch, quality, frequency and duration
COMPONENS OF NURSING HISTORY TAKING
Biographic data – Name, address, age, marital status, occupation, religion
Reason for visit – chief complaints: primary reason why client seeks consultation or hospitalization
History of present illness – includes usual health status, chronological story, family history, disability assessment
Past health history – includes all previous immunizations and experiences with illness
Family history – reveals risk factors for certain diseases
Review of systems – review of all health problems by body systems
Life styles – includes personal habits, diet sleep or rest patterns, activity of daily living, recreation and hobbies
Social data – include family relationship ethnic and educational background economic status home and neibourhood conditions
Psychological data – information about clients emotional state
Pattern of health care – includes all health care resources hospitals clinics health centers family doctors
VALIDATION OF DATA
The act of double checking or verifying data to confirm that it is accurate and complete. Validation of data is the process of confirming and verifying that the subjective and objective data collected are reliable and accurate
STEPS IN VALIDATION
Deciding whether the data require validation Determining the ways to validate the data Identifying the areas where the data are missing
PURPOSE OF DATA VALIDATION
Ensure the data collection is simple Ensure that objective and subjective data agree Obtain additional data that may have been overlooked Avoid jumping to conclusions Differentiate clues and inferences
METHODS OF VALIDATION
Recheck your own data with repeated assessments Clarify data with the client by asking additional questions Verify the data with another health care personnel Compare your objective findings with subjective findings to uncover discrepancies
ORGANIZATIION OF DATA
It uses a written or computerized format that organizes assessment data systematically
COMMUNICATE RECORD AND DOCUMENT DATA
Nurses record all data collected about clients health status Data are recorded on a factual manner not as interpreted by the nurse Recording subjective data in clients word, restating in other words what the client says might
change its original meaning
PURPOSE OF DOCUMENTATION
Provides a chronological source of clients assessment data and a progressive record of clients assessment findings that outline the clients course of care
Ensure that the information about the client and family is easily accessible to members of health care team
Establishes a basis for screening and validation proposed diagnosis Acts as a source of information to help diagnosis Provides access to significant epidemiological data for future investigations research and
educational endeavors
GUIDELINES FOR DOCUMENTATION
Document legibly or print neatly in unerasable inkUse correct grammar and spellingAvoid wordiness that creates rudencyAvoid recording the word normal for normal findingsRecord complete information and details for the clients symptoms or experiencesInclude additional assessment content when applicableUse phrases instead of sentences to record data
COMMON PROBLEMS OF DATA COLLECTION
Irrelevant or duplicate data collectedErroneous or misinterpreted data collectedToo little data acquired from the clientPoor documentation from staffConflicting data Language barrierInsufficient time Lack of equipment
SUMMARY
In this topic we have discussed about identification of health Illness problems, definition of assessment types of assessment, steps of assessment sources of data methods of data collection components of nursing history and problems of data collection
CONCLUSION
The nursing process applied to the care of all client systems including individual’s families groups or communities. Use of the process allows the nurse to differentiate their practice from that of physicians and other health care professionals. When nurses think critically the client becomes an active participant and the ultimate outcome is a comprehensive individualized approach to care
RESEARCH ABSTRACT
A study was conducted to test the efficacy of structured symptom assessment on level and rate of change in symptom distress over time on Outpatient oncology offices and clinics in California. 48 subjects newly diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, predominantly non-small cell was selected. Most subjects received chemotherapy, 50% were women, and their average age was 62 years. 190 observations were analyzed. . Both groups completed the Symptom Distress Scale (SDS) monthly. After bivariate screening of potential predictors, a multivariate regression model for level and rate of change in SDS scores was created. And they found that Systematic use of structured symptom assessment forestalled increased symptom distress over time. Chemotherapy lessened symptom
distress, but the impact diminished with time. Subjects with more depression and greater functional limitations had greater symptom distress.Nursing pain assessments are influenced by the length of available tools, patient characteristics, patient pathology, concern about addictive behavior, and characteristics of the nurse. The relationship among these variables was explored in a sample of community hospital nurses (N = 59) and ONS members (N = 19). Although a number of interesting similarities were found in the two groups, age, professional and continuing education, and care setting appear to be related to differences in pain assessment practices. Implications for practice, research, and education include teaching nurses to: assess factors related to quality of life in the pain experience, assess and validate data from families, assess coping skills, and teach patients to use behavioral pain management strategies. The findings also suggest that further study is needed concerning the relationship between personal beliefs and experiences and the assessment and management of pain. Membership in professional organizations appears to be associated with comprehensive approaches to the assessment and management of cancer and pain should be addressed in further research.
