NursingSOS Can I ask you something? Are you comfortable with your critical thinking skills? Or writing care plans? Personally, I didn't have a clue about either of these when I started nursing school. I thought nurses just gave meds and started IVs. Boy, was I wrong.

NursingSOS ASSESSMENT: Data Collection This includes things like taking vital signs, completing the nursing head to toe assessment, getting the patient's history, and gathering any other type of objective or subjective data. Types of Data Objective Data: things that you CAN see (such as blood pressure, bruises, cardiac rhythms, tremors, etc.) Subjective Data: things that you CAN'T see (such as pain, emotions, itching, etc.) Critical Thinking You should always be thinking about what could possibly be going on with the patient. Ask yourself a few questions to help guide your critical thinking process: 1. Do these signs and symptoms seem to be pointing toward one cause? Or multiple causes? 2. If that one cause (or multiple causes) were the case, what do I need to assess for further to get more information? 3. Did the patient say anything, or do I see anything, that may require follow up questions or further assessment? 4. What am I missing or forgetting to ask or do? Check out these videos to learn how to critically think! DIAGNOSIS: The nursing diagnosis is the patient's response to what is happening. Nursing diagnoses are standardized by NANDA-International®, and you can find the entire list of nursing diagnoses in your school textbooks. Always choose appropriate nursing diagnoses for your specific patient. This means that the nursing diagnoses you pick should always match your patient.
