DIAGNOSTIC, OUTCOME IDENTIFICATION, PLANNING Flashcards
The nurse analyzes the strength and weaknesses of the patient, the patient’s family, the nursing personnel, the health care facility and available resources
outcome identification
In this phase, the nurse develops outcomes for the patient to achieve showing an optimum or improved level of functioning in the problem areas identified in the nursing diagnoses
outcome identification
The resulting outcomes and plan of nursing care are designed to help patients and their families
make informed decisions about their health and health care
maintain their current level of health and functioning if they identified as being at risk for developing problems
avoid injury or disease
Outcome identification formula
outcome identification=setting priorities +establishing outcomes
ordering the delivery of nursing care so that more important or life threatening problems are treated before the less critical problems are treated
setting priorities
What are the classifications of setting priorities?
high
middle
low
What are the guidelines for setting priorities?
-Maslow’s Hierarchy of meeds
-focus on the problems the patient feels are most important
-consider the patient’s culture, values, and beliefs when setting priorities
-consider the effect of potential problems when setting priorities
consider cost resources available, personnel, and time needed to plan for and established for each of the patient’s identified problem
-consider state laws, hospital policy statement, and outcome criteria established for the particular setting
is a measurable, expected client goal to be achieved at some specified time in the future
an outcome
the desired result of nursing care; that which you hope to achieve with your patient and which is designed to prevent, remedy, or lessen the problem identified in the nursing diagnosis
patient outcome
Why is outcome identification needed?
-guidance in the selection of nursing interventions
-gives standard against which to compare the patient’s hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and lifelong efforts to maintain and improve health functioning
-gives a sense of where this particular patient started from and where the individual and nurse hope to end up
-criteria used to evaluate the success of nursing intervention
-it helps motivate the nurse, the patient, and the family to continue their efforts
What are the components of an outcome statement?
Outcome Statement= patient behavior (verb) + criteria of performance + conditions or modifier + time frame
it can be seen, heard, felt, or measured by the nurse or reported by the patient
patient behavior
For risk nursing diagnosis, the outcome should not deal with the etiology but address
lessening or elimination of the problem
it is a stated level or standard for the patient behavior stated in the outcome
criterion of performance
it clarifies and individualizes the outcome based on the patient’s abilities and realistic expectations for the level of functioning in the future
criterion of performance
the level at which the patient will perform the behavior
criterion of acceptable performance
can be thought as specific aids that will help the patient perform a behavior at the level specified in the criteria portion of the outcome statement
condition
the circumstances, if necessary, under which the behavior is performed
conditions
What are the different types of time frame?
Intermediate outcomes
Long-term or Final Outcomes
Discharge outcomes
health promotion or wellness outcomes
identify behavior a patient can achieve fairly quizkly
intermediate outcomes
under intermediate outcome is
progressive intermediate outcome
give directions for nursing care over time
long-term or final outcomes
this can be though of as an eventual destination
long term or final outcomes
what are the considerations of long term or final outcomes?
prognosis of the patient health problems
resources available
strength and weaknesses of the patient function
nursing care abilities of the personnel
often appear at the end in critical pathways used with hospitalized patients
discharge outcomes
these outcomes identify the behavior the patient is expected to achieve to be safely discharged from the institution
discharge outcomes
What are the examples of health promotion or wellness outcome
physical well-being
psychosocial well-being
balance of life roles:personal, family career
