DEFINITION: Organized and systematic process of collecting data from a variety of sources to evaluate the health status of a patient.

Universal Self Care Requisites	Nursing Diagnosis	Expected Outcomes	Nursing Interventions	Rationale	Outcome Assessment
DEFINTION: (USCR) the category of self-care requites that are basic and common to all humans and are constantly present; these needs must be met to achieve optimal health and well-being. There are eight universal self-care requisites: (1) AIR (2) FOOD (3) WATER (4) ELIMINATION (5) ACTIVITY AND REST (6) SOLITUDE AND SOCIAL INTERACTION (7) PREVENTION OF HAZARDS (8) NORMALCY Self-Care Agency (SCA) - assets or abilities of an individual to perform self-care. Self-Care Deficit (SCD) - deficit relationship that exists when the demand for self-care exceeds the person's ability to perform self-care. Nursing System: the series of organized concrete action performed by nurses in collaboration with the patient. There are three types of nursing systems: (1) wholly compensatory (2) partly compensatory (3) supportive-educative	DEFINITION: Problem: statement of the patient's potential or actual health problem that the nurse is licensed and accountable to treat. Etiology: factors "related to" or "associated with" the patient's problem. Symptoms: manifestation of problem identified.	DEFINITION: Desired or expected outcomes of nursing interventions: "Patient will" __________________ _____________________________ _____________________________	DEFINITION: Direction for nursing action designed to assist the client and/or significant other to meet the expected outcomes. Nursing actions are specific, realistic, and individualized for a particular patient. Components of nursing actions: 1. Precision action verb 2. Content area a. What-the actual measure performed b. Where - specific area c. How- the means by which measures will be adopted d. When - time element, how long or how often the nursing action is to occur 3. Categories of Interventions A - assessment C - care & comfort measures T - teaching Independent, dependent, collaborative, and supportive - educative nursing actions are to be considered when writing the plan	DEFINTION: Scientific principles, theories or concepts underlying nursing interventions: If reference is used, document the source with author, title edition and page.	DEFINTION: Responses to or results of nursing interventions. An assessment of relative data is made. These outcome assessments describe how the patient looks, feels or behaves after nursing action has been implemented. May include proposed modifications or present plan for improvement of nursing care.
