Steps in the nursing process include assessment, analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Assessment questions focus on combining subjective and objective data, confirming it, communicating it, and documenting it. Pay attention to the strategy words in the problem that reflect the assessment. If there is an answer choice that includes the concept of evaluating or collecting customer data, that would be the best answer choice. An exception to the nursing process is that in the event of an emergency, an intervention may be performed as a priority. Analysis questions are considered difficult because they require understanding the principles of physiological responses and interpretation of data. These types of questions require critical thinking and justification of therapeutic interventions. They can address the formulation of a nursing diagnosis and the documentation of analysis results. Planning questions are for clients as they prioritize their issues, determine the goals of care, and then document them. Implementation questions focus on the process of organizing care. These are based on nursing actions rather than medical actions. Evaluation questions compare the outcomes of care with those expected. These questions determine the client's response to care and other factors that interfere with achieving expected outcomes.
