Directive Approach to Interviewing
Nurse establishes purpose Nurse controls the interview Used to gather and give information when time is limited, e.g., in an emergency
8
Nondirective Approach to Interviewing
Rapport-building Client controls the purpose, subject matter, and pacing Combination of directive and nondirective approaches usually appropriate during the information-gathering interview

The Physical Examination
Use techniques of inspection, auscultation, palpation, and percussion Systematic manner Ongoing nursing data collection and examination focuses on the body systems in which there is a problem or potential problem
13
Organizing Data Systematically
Nursing health history, nursing assessment, or nursing data base Differentiate normal from abnormal Copyright © 2014 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
14
Validating Data (Tab 11-7 pg. 172)
Assessment complete Objective and related subjective data agree Additional data overlooked Differentiate between cues and inferences Data that is extremely abnormal Avoiding jumping to conclusions
15
Let’s Practice: Classify the following data as subjective or objective:
“I’m hurting.” Pain level = 8 BP 121/84 Weight 172 lbs. Complete blood count normal (CBC) Dressing clean, dry, intact Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (N/V/D)

Diagnosing Chapter 12
17
A Nursing Diagnosis is “…a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to a actual or potential health problem/life processes. A nursing diagnosis provides the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable” (NANDA-I, 2009) Copyright © 2014 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
18
Types of Nursing Diagnoses
Actual Diagnosis Risk Diagnosis Health Promotion Diagnosis Readiness for enhanced family coping Wellness Diagnosis NANDA-I nursing diagnoses Prioritization
19
Components of a Nursing Diagnosis
Problem statement (diagnostic label) Describes the client’s health problem or response Use of qualifiers Etiology (related factors and risk factors) Identifies one or more probable causes of the health problem Do not use medical diagnosis
20
Components of a Nursing Diagnosis
Defining characteristics for actual problems Cluster of signs and symptoms indicate the presence of a particular diagnostic label Have signs and symptoms Constipation R/T medication use AEB infrequent passage of stool and hard, dry stool.
21
Components of a Nursing Diagnosis (cont'd)
Defining characteristics for risk problems For risk for nursing diagnoses have no signs/symptoms Factors that cause the client to be more vulnerable to the problem form the etiology or a risk for nursing diagnoses Risk for Infection R/T break in skin integrity.
22
Differentiating Nursing Diagnosis from Medical Diagnosis
Nursing judgment Describes human response Changes as client responds Medical Diagnosis Made by physician Disease process Stays the same
23
Steps in Diagnostic Process
Analyzing Data Compare data against standards Cluster cues Identify gaps and inconsistencies Identifying health problems, risks, and strengths Formulating diagnostic statements
24
Writing Nursing Diagnoses
Basic Two-Part Statement (at risk) Problem (P) Etiology (E) Basic Three-Part Statement (actual) Signs and symptoms (S)
25
AEB observed choking (observed evidence of difficulty in swallowing).
Practice A client who experienced a stroke last week is unable to swallow. You witness him choke during a feeding session. Impaired swallowing R/T facial paralysis AEB observed choking (observed evidence of difficulty in swallowing).
26
Hypothermia R/T immature body system
Practice A older patient has a temp of 96.1 Ax. Hypothermia R/T immature body system AEB Ax temp of 97.1.
27
AEB verbalization of the inability to cope.
Practice A client comes to the clinic and states he can’t handle the stress anymore. Ineffective coping R/T inadequate coping AEB verbalization of the inability to cope.
28
Ineffective airway clearance
Practice An assessment on a post-operative client reveals rhonchi. The client refuses to cough due to pain. Ineffective airway clearance R/T ineffective cough AEB abnormal breath sounds.
29
Risk for infection R/T surgical incision
Practice The nurse is caring for a post-operative surgical client. The nurse identifies the client is at risk for developing infection. The client does not have symptoms of an infection at this time. Risk for infection R/T surgical incision
30
Risk for injury r/t altered mental status.
Identify the problem, etiology, defining characteristics for each nursing diagnostic statement. Activity intolerance r/t generalized weakness AEB verbal reports of weakness and fatigue. Deficient fluid volume r/t excessive blood loss AEB decreased BP, poor skin turgor, decreased urinary output and dry skin and mucous membranes. Risk for injury r/t altered mental status.
31
Planning Chapter 13
32
Planning Nurse and the client in collaboration Set priorities
Determine goals to eliminate, diminish, or control identified problems Choose specific interventions to enable the client to meet the specific outcomes listed in the plan of care Copyright © 2014 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
33
Types of Planning Initial Ongoing Discharge
34
Developing Nursing Care Plans
Informal nursing care plan Formal nursing care plan Standardized care plan Individualized care plan
35
Standardized Approaches
Standards of care Standardized care plans Protocols Policies/procedures Standing order
36
Formats for Nursing Care Plans
Student care plans Concept maps Computerized care plans Multidisciplinary (collaborative) care plans Also called critical pathway

38
Concept Map 38
39
The Planning Process Consists of following activities:
Setting priorities Establishing client goals/desired outcomes Selecting nursing interventions Writing individualized nursing interventions on care plans
40
Setting Priorities Establishing a preferential sequence for addressing nursing diagnoses and interventions High priority (life-threatening) Medium priority (health-threatening) Low priority (developmental needs)
41
Goals/Desired Outcomes
Broad statements about the client’s status Desired outcomes Specific, observable criteria used to evaluate whether the goals have been met Purpose
42

43
Components of Goal/Desired Outcome Statements
Subject Verb Condition or modifier Criterion of desired performance Guidelines for writing
44
Goal Statements Will ambulate to the nurses’ station, using cane, unassisted by 5/13/12. Will describe system for taking medication by 5/21/12. Will verbalize pain level of less than 3 (on a 0-10 pain scale minutes after each pain management intervention. Will maintain airway that is free of secretions AEB clear lung sounds, ability to cough up secretions, no SOA, no cyanosis or pallor every shift.
45
Practice Write a short term goal for a post-op surgical client who has a nursing diagnosis of Risk for Infection? What do you want the client to achieve? How can you measure free of infection? What time frame?
46
Remain free of infection/ no signs of infection
AEB: VS WNL, incision without drainage, edema, redness, and well approximated By discharge

Implementation
50
Five Activities of the Implementing Phase
Reassessing the client Determining the nurse’s need for assistance Implementing nursing interventions Supervising delegated care Documenting nursing activities
51
Evaluating
52
Evaluation Assessing the patient to evaluate his or her response to the nursing interventions Evaluate whether outcomes have been met Based on results from the evaluation process, the nursing plan of care may need to be changed Continuous process Copyright © 2014 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
53
Components of the Evaluation Process
Collecting data Comparing the data with outcomes Relating nursing activities to outcomes Drawing conclusions about problem status Continuing, modifying, or terminating the nursing care plan
54
Revising the Nursing Care Plan
If goals/outcomes are not met If goals are reached Continue current care plan Terminate care plan Copyright © 2014 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
57
Denies other pertinent medical history “My stomach hurts.”
Let’s Practice The nurse is admitting a client to the healthcare facility. The data below is obtained from a brief conversation with the client. RR-24 BPM T 98.1 PO Denies other pertinent medical history “My stomach hurts.” Pain level = 8 50 year old female BP 152/91 P-96 BPM What other information is necessary to obtain? Any other GI symptoms Location, duration, quality of pain Onset of pain Diet history Stool history Any other observations regarding pain level of 8 Bowel sounds History of HTN Any observable signs of pain
58
Additional assessment data:
Hyperactive bowel sounds heard in all 4 quadrants c/o nausea and diarrhea x 6 during last 8 hrs. c/o intermittent sharp pain in rt. lower abd. X 8 hrs Denies V/D Abdomen soft, non-distended, and tender Organize your assessment data Does any data need validating? ID abnormal findings What other data would you like to gather? Diet history- turkey sandwich and chips about 10 hrs ago Exposure to GI virus?
59
Risk for deficient fluid volume ?? GI Infection (virus) Anxiety Fear
Possible Nursing Diagnoses Acute pain Risk for deficient fluid volume ?? GI Infection (virus) Anxiety Fear Observable indicators of pain include: Moaning, crying, irritability, inability to sleep, grimacing or frowning, restlessness, rigid posture in bed. Other detectable signs include elevation in BP, HR, RR, nausea, diaphoresis.
60
Nursing Diagnosis Pain R/T AEB
61
Will report pain is relieved or controlled AEB every shift AEB:
Goal Will report pain is relieved or controlled AEB every shift AEB: Rate pain less than or equal to 4 on a 0-10 pain scale minutes after each pain intervention No grimacing or guarding VS wnl How do we know someone is not in pain anymore???
62
Interventions (nursing actions)
Administer pain medication as prescribed Encourage relaxation techniques Provide diversionary activities Observe for pain relief and side effects of medication Assess pain level, intensity, duration q 8 hrs and prn Provide teaching on diet status Include: Assessments Dependent interventions (MD orders) Nursing independent interventions (I&O) Teaching
63
Evaluation Did the client meets expected outcomes? How do we know?
Once interventions are carried out, you must determine whether they are effective in helping the client meets expected outcomes.
