The Nursing Process: Diagsing –exam
2024/25
components of the evaluation step of the nursing process
- CORRECT ANSWER -Therapeutic Responses
-Adverse Effects
-Compliance
-Patient Satisfaction with Drug Therapy
evaluating adverse effects
- CORRECT ANSWER -must know a drug's common adverse effects
-demands a thorough understanding of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of
drug therapy
compliance of drug therapy
- CORRECT ANSWER -especially valuable when the expected therapeutic response is
not met or when adverse effects are unexpectedly severe
-used to determine patient understanding of medication use, including purpose, timing,
dosage, and method of administration
patient satisfaction with drug therapy
- CORRECT ANSWER -promotes compliance to therapy and increases quality of life
-Identification of underlying factors that lead to dissatisfaction: unacceptable side
effects, inconvenient dosing schedule, difficulty of administration, and high cost are
examples of such factors
-Identified factors must be modified to promote patient satisfaction and achievement of
outcomes
diagnostic phase
- CORRECT ANSWER formulating the problem
planning phase
- CORRECT ANSWER nurse promotion of beneficial medication effects while
anticipating adverse effects
implementation phase
- CORRECT ANSWER promotes therapeutic effects and interventions to minimize
side/adverse effects
evaluation phase
, - CORRECT ANSWER involves determining how well goals were met and refocusing
patient care if these goals are not met
1) Assessment
2) Diagnosis
3) Planning
4) Implementation
5) Evaluation
- CORRECT ANSWER What are the five steps of the nursing process?
to identify, diagnose, and treat human responses to health and illness - CORRECT
ANSWER What is the purpose of the nursing process?
subjective data
- CORRECT ANSWER verbal information from the patient, family members, friends, or
other sources, including symptoms described by, and apparent to, the patient
objective data
- CORRECT ANSWER signs that are directly measured or detected by another person
regarding the patient's health
pre-administration assessment
- CORRECT ANSWER allows health care providers to establish the baseline data
needed to individually tailor medication therapy
1) establish baseline measurements
2) anticipate adverse effects
3) identify high-risk patients
- CORRECT ANSWER three goals specific to a particular drug
4) determine self-care capacity
- CORRECT ANSWER applies to all drugs but may be more critical for some drugs
than for others
baseline measurements of the parameters of the drug - CORRECT ANSWER used to
modify need to be determined to evaluate whether or not this response is achieved
adverse effects of a medication
- CORRECT ANSWER usually known; baseline measurements can help providers
determine if one has occurred
high-risk patients
- CORRECT ANSWER -determined by individual characteristics
-individual characteristics that predispose a patient to an adverse reaction depend on
the drug under consideration
-cannot determine without understanding pharmacology of the medication.
