Nursing Process
Healthcare and Medical
The nursing process is a systematic, five-step framework nurses use to plan and deliver patient care: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. It provides a structured, problem-solving method for identifying patient needs and tailoring interventions accordingly. This model is taught in nursing education worldwide and underpins clinical documentation and care planning.
