Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation

Making accurate nursing diagnoses takes knowledge and practice. If the nurse uses a systematic approach to nursing diagnosis validation, then accuracy will increase. The process of making nursing diagnoses is difficult because nurses are attempting to diagnose human responses. Humans are unique, complex, and ever-changing; thus, attempts to classify these responses have been difficult.

Nursing Diagnosis
The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) defines a nursing diagnosis as a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes.

• Inferences
• Data
• List of defining characteristics

• Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing (PMHN) diagnostic system

Classification of Nursing Diagnosis Carpenito-Moyet (2008)
• Actual nursing diagnosis
• Risk nursing diagnosis
• Wellness nursing diagnosis
• Syndrome nursing diagnosis

DSM-IV-TR
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, text revision
• Published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to ensure consistency and commonality of language
• Required by insurance companies for reimbursement
• Also used to identify and communicate accurate public health statistics
• Presents decision trees for differential diagnoses

Outcome Identification
When possible, the nurse, client, significant others, and multidisciplinary team members work together to formulate the outcomes.
• Measurable
• Client oriented
• Realistic
• Directly related to the nursing diagnosis

Planning
The planning phase involves developing a plan of care to guide therapeutic intervention and achieve expected outcomes.
• Standardized care plans
• Concept mapping
• Clinical pathways
• Critical pathways

General Principles for Plans of Care
• Individualize or personalize the plan
• Use simple, understandable language
• Be specific when stating nursing interventions
• Prioritize nursing care
• State expected outcomes
• Indicate the responsible party or discipline for each nursing intervention

Implementation
• Evidence-based nursing practice is the process by which nurses make clinical decisions using the best available research evidence, their clinical expertise, and client preferences.

Interventions for the Psychiatric–Mental Health Clinical Setting
• Counseling interventions to help the client improve or regain coping abilities
• Maintenance of a therapeutic environment or milieu
• Structured interventions to foster self-care and mental and physical well-being
• Psychological and biological interventions to restore the client’s health and prevent future disability
• Health education
• Case management
• Interventions to promote mental health and prevent mental illness

Advanced Practice PMHN Interventions
• Individual, group, family, and child therapy
• Pharmacologic agent prescription
• Consultation with other health care providers

Evaluation
Four possible outcomes:
• The client may respond favorably or as expected to nursing interventions.
• Short-term outcomes (goals) may be met, but long-term goals may remain unmet.
• The client may be unable to meet or achieve any outcomes (goals).
• New problems or needs may be identified requiring the nurse to modify or revise the plan of care.

Reflection
Making accurate nursing diagnoses takes knowledge and practice.
??
• What difficulties have you experienced arriving at a nursing diagnosis as you developed a care plan for a client?
• How did you validate data?• How did you classify your
nursing diagnoses (eg, actual, risk, wellness, or syndrome diagnosis)?
