Collection of data –
It is the process of gathering information about the client ‘s health status
It includes physical, psychological, emotion, socio-cultural, spiritual
factors that may affect client’s health status
It includes past health history of client (allergies, past surgeries, chronic
diseases, use of folk healing methods)
It includes current/present problems of client (pain, nausea, sleep pattern,
religious practices, meds or treatment the client is taking now)
Types of Data:
Subjective data
Objective data
also referred to as Sign/Overt data
those that can be detected, observed or measured/tested using accepted
standard or norm.
Mainly collection by general observation and by using the four physical
examination techniques – inspection, percussion, palpation and
auscultation.
Example: pallor, diaphoresis, BP=150/100, yellow discoloration of skin
Interview –
a planned, purposeful conversation/communication with the client to get
information, identify problems, evaluate change, to teach, or to provide
support or counseling.
it is used while taking the nursing history of a client
interview an essential skill for obtaining information for the nursing
history .
Observation –
use to gather data by using the 5 senses and instruments.
Observation occurs whenever the nurses is contact with the client or
support persons
Observation is a ,conscious ,deliberate skill that is developed through
effort and withan organized approach
.
Examination –
ASSESSMENT SEQUENCING -
Cephalocaudal approach – head-to-toe assessment -
Physical assessment using head to toe approach
ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES –
Inspection – inspection is the visual examination of the client.
Palpation – palpation uses the sense of touch to assess various parts of the
body and helps to confirm finding that are noted on inspection .
The hands ,especially the fingers tips are used to assess skin temperature ,
check pulse ,texture ,moisture ,lumps, tenderness or pain .ask the client for
permission first and explain to your client what you intend to examine.please
remember to use warm hands.
Types of palpation -
Light palpation -to check muscle tone and assess for tenderness
Deep palpation – to identify abdominal organs and abdominal mass.
Percussion –percussion is the striking of the body surface with short , sharp
strokes in order to produce palpable vibration and characteristic sounds .it is
used to determine the location size, shape, and density of underfying structure to
detect the presence of air or fluid in a body space and to elicit tenderness.
Type of percussion –
Direct percussion –percussion in which one hand is used and the striking
finger of the examiner touches the surface being percussed
Indirect percussion – percussion in which two hands are used and the
plexor ,strikes the finger of the examiner s other hand which is in contact
with the body surface being percussed.
Blunt percussion – percussion which the ulnar surface of the hand or firt
is used in place of the fingers to strike the body surface , either directly or
indirectly.
Percussion sound –
Resonance: a hollow sound
Hyper resonance :a booming sound
Tympani :a musical sound or drum drum sound like that produced by the
stomach.
Dullness:- thud sound produced by dense structures such as the liver ,and
enlarged spleen, or a full bladder.
Flatness:- an extremely dull sound like that produced by very dense
structures such as muscle or bone.
AUSCULTATION:-
Auscultation is listening to sounds produced inside the body . these
include breath sound , heart sound , vascular sounds, and bowel sound it
is used to detect the presence of normal and abnormal sounds and to
assess them in terms of loudness ,pitch ,quality ,frequency and duration.
Source of data:
Primary source – data directly gathered from the client using interview
and physical examination.
Secondary source – data gathered from client’s family members,
significant others, client’s medical records/chart, other members of health
team, and related care literature/journals.
In the Assessment Phase, obtain a Nursing Health History – a structured
interview designed to collect specific data and to obtain a detailed health record
of a client.
methods of validation:-
recheck your own data through a repeat assessment for example take the
clients temperature again with a different thermometer.
Clarify data with the client by asking additional questions.
Eg.:- If a client is holding his abdominal the nurse may assume he is
having abdominal pain , when actually the client is very upset about his
diagnosis and is feeling anxiety
Verify the data with another health care professional
.eg:-. ask a more experienced nurse to listen to the abdominal heart sound
you think you have just heard.
Compare your objective finding with your subjective finding tonuncover
discrepancies
.eg:-if the client states that she never gets any time in the sun yet has dark
,wrinkled ,suntanned skin ,you need to validation the client’s perception
of never getting any time in the sun.
self esteem
physiological needs
a. Body System Model:- the body systems model ( also called the medical
model or review of systems) focuses on the client’s major anatomic
system. The framework allows nurse to collect data about past and
present condition of each organ or body system and to examine
thoroughly all body system for actual and potential problem.
V. Communicate/Record/Document Data
nurse records all data collected about the client’s health status
data are recorded in a factual manner not as interpreted by the nurse
record subjective data in client’s word; restating in other words what
client says might change its original meaning.
