ASSESSMENT
The first step in the nursing process. Includes systematic collection,
verification, organization, interpretation, and documentation of data.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENT
To organize a database regarding a client’s physical, psychosocial, and emotional health.
To identify health-promoting behaviors and actual and/or potential health problems.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive–provides baseline client data.
Focused–limited to a particular need or health care concern.
Ongoing–includes systematic monitoring of specific problems.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
SOURCES OF DATA
Primary source–client or the major provider of information about a client.
Secondary source–sources of data other than client and include family members, other health care providers, and medical records.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
TYPES OF DATA
Subjective data–data from client’s point of view, and include perceptions, feelings, and concerns. Collected by interview.
Objective data–observable and measurable, obtained through both physical examination and the results of lab and diagnostic testing.

VALIDATING THE DATA
Prevents misunderstandings, omissions, and incorrect inferences and conclusions.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
ORGANIZING THE DATA
Data must be organized. Data clustering is the process of
putting the data together in order to identify areas of the client’s problems and strengths.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
INTERPRETING THE DATA
Organizing data in clusters helps to recognize patterns of response or behavior: Distinguish between relevant, irrelevant. Determine whether and where there are gaps
in the data. Identify patterns of cause and effect.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
DOCUMENTING THE DATA
The nurse must decide which data should be immediately reported and which data can just be recorded.
It is essential for accurate and complete recording of assessment data to communicate information to other health care team members.

DIAGNOSIS
Second step in the nursing process. Clinical judgment about individual,
family, or community response to actual or potential health problems/life processes.
Provides the basis for client care through the remaining steps.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS
Clients have both nursing and medical diagnoses.
A medical diagnosis is a clinical judgment by the physician that identifies or determines a specific disease, condition, or pathological state.
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
TWO-PART NURSING DIAGNOSIS

Part two–etiology or the related cause or contributor to the problem.
Linked by the term related to (r/t).
Copyright 2005 Thomson Delmar Learning. Thomson and Delmar Learning are trademarks used herein under license.
THREE-PART NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Part one–diagnostic label. Part two–etiology. Part three–defining characteristics, or
signs and symptoms, subjective and objective data, or clinical manifestations.
Third part linked to the first two by the term as evidenced by (AEB).
