NURS 106 Nursing Process Review
Questions and Correct Answers
When using Nursing Process there are important assumptions the nurse must consider:
✅The patient is a human being with worth and dignity.
There are basic human needs which must be met and when not problems may arise
requiring interventions.
Patient have a right to quality health and nursing care.
A therapeutic nurse-patient relationship is important to the process.
Therapeutic communication ✅Nurses must convey trust, acceptance, and
compassion.
Trust is fostered when you communicate warmth and caring.
Trust is fostered when you demonstrate consistency, reliability, honesty, and
competence.
First impressions are largely based on appearance.
Conveying acceptance means that you are nonjudgmental. It doesn't mean that you
agree or approve.
Respect involves referring to the pt by name and avoiding "terms of endearment".
Compassion involves caring about the individual and his or her needs.
Caring ✅Research has shown a connection between patient satisfaction and nurse
caring.
When nurses successfully demonstrate caring, nursing care improves, and more
patients are satisfied and more likely to return to the health care setting.
Patients are more likely to trust a nurse who conveys caring.
Caring in Nursing Practice ✅Behaviors include being present, providing a caring touch,
and listening.
Caring is a product of culture, values, experiences, and relationships with others.

the arm can be either consoling and sympathetic or invasive and offensive according to
different cultures.
Know and respect your patient.
Interviewing ✅Prepare environment to eliminate distracters.
Provide for patient comfort.
Use therapeutic communication techniques.
, Therapeutic communication open-ended questions ✅Use open-ended questions:
prompts patients to describe a situation in more than one or two words.
Example: tell me about the problems you are having.
Therapeutic communication back-channeling ✅use back-channeling: the practice of
giving positive comments.
Example: all right, go on, uh-huh
These indicate that you have heard the patient and want to hear the full story.
Therapeutic communication ask closed-ended questions ✅Ask closed-ended
questions: takes information from patient's story and allows patient to more fully
describe and identify problem areas.
Example: how often do you feel really tired or fatigued?
Clinical decision-making skills ✅Clinical decision-making requires critical thinking.
Clinical decision-making skills separate professional nurses form technical and ancillary
staff.
Critical Thinking ✅When given the responsibility of helping persons to maintain, regain
or improve their health, nurses must be able to think critically to problem solve and find
the best solution to help meet the patient's unmet needs.
Critical thinking in nursing requires developing attitudes of critical thinkers.
Critical thinking attitudes ✅Critical thinking attitudes are guidelines for how to solve
problems or make decisions.
Nursing Process ✅The nursing process is a critical thinking process that professional
nurses use to apply the best available evidence to caregiving and the promotion of
human functions and responses to health and illness.
Steps of Nursing Process ✅Assessment (systematic collection of data relating to
patients and their problems)
Nursing Diagnosis (interpretation of data and problem identification)
Planning (setting goals)
Implementation (putting the plan into action)
Evaluation (assessing the effectiveness of the plan and modifying if necessary).
Assessment ✅The deliberate and systematic collection of data to determine the
patient's current health status.
May be viewed as the most important step.
This phase of the nursing process is initiated upon admission of the patient to the health
care agency.

collector. Examples: measuring temp and B/P.
