Nursing Knowledge
What type of nursing knowledge (theoretical, practical, ethical, or self-knowledge) is needed to answer the following questions? What health concerns does Mr. Nguyen have that should be addressed by the healthcare team? What is the role of Zach Miller on the healthcare team? What role will you play in the care of Mr. Nguyen?
Nursing Process
In what phase of the nursing process are you engaged when you are asking Mr. Nguyen about the reason for his visit? What activities are involved in the diagnosis phase? In planning outcomes? In planning interventions? Why would you not, at this point, be using the evaluation phase?
