ASSESSMENT Is the first step to determine heath status. It is gathering of information to have all the “necessary puzzle pieces” to make a clear picture of the person’s health statusDefinition : Assessment is the deliberate and systematic
collection of data to determine clients current and past
health status, functional status and to determine client’s
present and coping pattern
( Carpenito)

“ Nursing assessment should include client’s
perceived needs, health problems related
experience, health practices values and life styles”
( Bandman and Bandman (1995)
• To be most useful- the data collected should be relevant to a particular health problem
• Therefore – nurses should think critically about what to assess

Assessment identifies the pt’s strengths and limitations • It is a done continuously
through out the nursing Process
• Initial assessment baseline data identify nsg diagnoses develop plan
Implement plan assess pt response
Finally you assess the effectiveness of your plan for the care of your pt

17
Initial Assessment It is done within specified time after admission to Hospital Purpose: To establish a complete data base for problem identification, reference and future comparison Eg: Admission assessment
Focus or Ongoing Assessment Purpose: To determine the status of a specific problem identified in the earlier assessment & to identify new or overlooked problem
Eg: Hrly fluid intake output assessment
![Page 18: Nursing Health Assessment](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55b6d789bb61eb270f8b4718/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Emergency AssessmentDuring any physiologic and psychologic crisis of the patient
Purpose: To identify life threatening problems eg. ●ABC assessment in Cardiac arrest ●Assessment of suicidal attempt on violence
Time lapsed Assessment Several months after the initial assessment Purpose: To compare current status to baseline data previously obtained Eg Reassessment of clients functional health patterns in home care

On-Going Assessment
• Ongoing – Systematic monitoring of specific problems
Eg. Pain Assessment -( Pain score )

Methods of Assessment
The primary methods are –
●Observing ●Interviewing ●Examining

“The most practical lesson that can be given to a nurse to teach them what to observe “ Florence Nightingale ( 1859)
“For it may be said, not that the habit of ready and correct observation will by itself make us useful nurses. But that without it we shall be useless with all our devotion “
(Nursing- what it is and what it not : F. Nightingale Page 160. (1860)

EXAMINING Physical Examination• Systematic data collection method –
Observational skills to detect health problems Assessment sequencing• Head – to- Toe assessment • Body system assessment (Signs and symptoms
– complaints – lead to clues )
![Page 25: Nursing Health Assessment](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55b6d789bb61eb270f8b4718/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The Art of Physical Examination …
Using Techniques of –• Inspection• Palpation• Percussion • Auscultation
![Page 26: Nursing Health Assessment](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55b6d789bb61eb270f8b4718/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
INSPECTION : close and careful visualization of the person and of each body system Eg Rashes…. Color changes … edema
PALPATION • Temp •Texture • Moisture •organ size & location • Rigidity & spasticity •Crepitation /vibration • Position& size •Tenderness/pain •Presence of lumps & masses
![Page 27: Nursing Health Assessment](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55b6d789bb61eb270f8b4718/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
PERCUSSION : Assess underlying structures oflocation, size, density of underlying tissues
AUSCULTATION :Listening to sounds produced by the body • Stethoscope -- • Doppler• Feto- scope

• R = Radiates Where does the pain radiate?– Is it in one place?–Does it go anywhere else?
• Did it start elsewhere and now localized to one spot?
• S = SeverityHow severe is the pain on a scale of 1 - 10
(This is a difficult one as the rating will differ from patient to patient )• T = Time–Time pain started?–How long did it last?
