Interpersonal skills
Legal skills

It enable the nurse to reason about the nature of things sufficiently to make care of their world. Able to select those nursing action which are most likely to yield desired outcomes.

To have better cognitive skills we need following things.
Keen observation
Critical thinking
Making decision
Making judgment
Applying knowledge from theory to practice.
TECHNICAL SKILLS
Use technical equipment with sufficient competence and case to achieve goals with minimal distress.

Be trusted to act in ways which advance the interests of client.
Be accountable for their practice to themselves
Act as effective client advocates
Use legal safeguard which reduce the risk of ligation
COMPONENT OF NURSING PROCESS
Assessment
Collect data
Organize data
Validate data
Document data
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Analyzed data
Identity health problems, risk & strengths
Formulate diagnosis
EVALUTION
Collected data realted to outcomes
Compare data with outcomes
Draw conclusions about problems status
Continue modify or terminate the client’s plans.
PLANNING
Prioritize problem
Formulate goals / desired outcome
Select nursing actions
Write nursing actions
IMPLE MENTTION
Re-assess the client
Determine the nurses need for assistance
Implement the nursing order
ASSEMENTS
It is the first step of nursing process. It is the systematic & continuous collection
Organization validation & documentation of data.
This includes data about the person’s physical & psychological status or study of the patient is a whole to identify his strengths & weakness & his needs & problems.
It doesn’t focus on disease as do medical assessment.
There are 4 different types of assessment.
Initial assessment
Problems focused assessment
Emergency assessment
Time lapsed reassessment
e.g His temperature is 100 degree F
Sources of data
Primary source
Secondary source
ii> Organization of data
After collecting the data, the data must be organized according to hierarchical order.
We can organize the data by using Maslow’s hierarchical order.
After collecting data, it should be reviewed for any omission, incompleteness. If it is missing go back to the patient and collect the data
iii> Validation of data
It is the act of double checking or verifying whether they are accurate of not
iv> Documentation of data
To complete the assessment phase, the nurse records client’s data. It is essential & should include all data collected about client’s health status.
2> Nursing Diagnosis
Nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual family or community which includes family or community which includes actual or potential health problems life process. It provides a basis for the selection of correct nursing intervention to achieve outcomes.
Components of a NANDA nursing diagnosis
Problem (P)
Etiology (E)
Defining characteristics
Problems
The problem is a description of the client’s actual or potential. The purpose of the problem, statement is to describe health status of health problem clearly & concisely as possible .
NANDA recommends the use of quantifiers while writing the problem which includes the problem which includes alterd,impaired, deficient etc
Etiology
It reflects the factors believed to be related identified problems. It shows the relationship between cause and effect.
Defining characteristics
It is the cluster of sign & symptom that include of particular diagnostic label.
Ii> Formulating nursing diagnosis
Most nursing diagnosis is written as two part of three part.
Two part statements nursing diagnosis
Problem
Etiology
Three part statements nursing diagnosis
This is known as PES format that includes problem, etiology, sigh & symptoms.
Example of nursing diagnosis of respiratory illness patient
Ineffective breathing pattern related to retained secreatins
