Frequently Asked Questions

The five most common nursing procedures include wound dressing, injection administration, catheter care, IV infusion, and vital sign monitoring. These are essential interventions often required by patients at home to manage chronic conditions, post-surgical recovery, or injuries. Each procedure is guided by clinical protocols to ensure safety, hygiene, and optimal outcomes. Performed by trained nurses, they ensure continuity of care while minimizing hospital visits.

The nursing process consists of seven systematic steps: assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification, planning, implementation, evaluation, and documentation. These steps help nurses deliver structured and personalized care. Starting with data collection, they identify health issues, set measurable goals, plan interventions, execute care strategies, and evaluate results. This framework ensures care is patient-centered, evidence-based, and continuously improved based on the individual’s response to treatment.

A general nursing procedure refers to standard clinical practices carried out by nurses to maintain or restore a patient’s health. It includes checking vital signs, administering medications, dressing wounds, inserting catheters, and supporting daily hygiene. These procedures are often carried out under a physician’s directive and are essential for managing chronic illness, recovery from surgery, or providing palliative support in home settings.

The seven standards of nursing focus on professional behavior and patient care excellence: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation, ethics, and ongoing education. These standards guide nurses in decision-making, patient interactions, and procedural conduct. They emphasize clinical accuracy, compassionate care, patient advocacy, and skill development. Upholding these standards ensures that patients receive safe, respectful, and effective care across all healthcare settings.

Nurses perform multiple roles that contribute to overall patient wellness and system efficiency. These include caregiver, communicator, educator, advocate, counselor, researcher, coordinator, case manager, health promoter, and collaborator. Each role supports a different aspect of patient care, from clinical procedures to emotional support. By fulfilling these roles, nurses not only treat illness but also empower individuals and families to lead healthier lives.
