| [ Summary ] |
In developing long-term nursing programs for nephrology patients who need continuing care, it is important to understand patients holistically. In our clinic, we prepare nursing data base forms with the characteristics of patients who are under treatment for nephrology in the light of the Gazetta's renal failure assessment tool and an age assessment tool. An assigned nurse and co-workers collect information to conduct nursing diagnoses using analysis forms. This report is to introduce a process for abstracting nursing diagnoses of a patient(Mr. A) with the data base assessment form, analysis form, and related figures. Skilled renal disorder nurses are required to view patients holistically and dynamically for better understanding of them and to aggressively practice a series of work steps in making an effort to improve their assessment skills and competence, in information analysis, and integration, and nursing diagnoses. |
