About Nursing Process and Health Assessment
Assessment gathers subjective and objective data through health history, physical examination and observation. The nursing process then uses nursing diagnoses, planning, implementation and evaluation to provide individualised care, while distinguishing a nursing diagnosis from a medical diagnosis and identifying priorities such as airway, breathing, circulation and safety.
