caregiving and promote health functions. The first step of the process is assessment. In this step, the nurse gathers
and analyzes information about the client's health status. The second step of the process is diagnosis. The nurse
uses assessment findings to make clinical judgments and identify the client's response to health problems in the
form of nursing diagnoses. The third step of the process is planning. In this step, the nurse sets goals and expected
, outcomes for the client's care. The nurse selects interventions (nursing and collaborative) individualized to each of
the client's nursing diagnoses. The fourth step of the process is implementation, which involves performing the
planned interventions. In the fifth step, the nurse evaluates the client's response and whether the interventions
were effective. The nursing process is dynamic and continuous.
