The Nursing Process

The Nursing Process is a systematic approach that nurses use to provide patient care. It consists of five steps: 1. **Assessment**: Gathering information about the patient's health. 2. **Diagnosis**: Identifying health issues based on the assessment. 3. **Planning**: Setting goals and deciding on the best actions to address the issues. 4. **Implementation**: Carrying out the planned actions and interventions. 5. **Evaluation**: Checking the outcomes to see if the goals were met and adjusting the care as needed. This process ensures that patient care is organized, effective, and tailored to individual needs.
