DEFINITION:

Essential Job Functions

 

Assessment:

 

Evaluation of the nature and extent of nursing issues presented by a patient for the purpose of patient care planning.

 

Assessment includes identifying less obvious or common relationships in collected data and taking appropriate steps to mitigate their impact on the provision and quality of nursing services.

 

In addition, at this level, assessment involves predicting diverse patient need for care, potential need for care, and the validation of data collected by others.

 

At this level assessment involves recognizing subtle trends before explicit diagnostic signs are evident. Collects and analyzes data from multiple sources.

 

Assesses, evaluates and documents the patients' physical, medical and psychosocial circumstances; identifies economic or cultural barriers and determines their influence on the provision of care; refers patients based on patients' needs and risk factors involved.

 

Synthesizes all available patient information including observations by other health care team members and the patient's significant others and predicts variances from the expected trajectory.

 

Initiates additional assessment and/or reassessment of patients as necessary when a patient is currently or potentially at physiologic, psychological, and psychosocial risk.

 

Identifies and utilizes resources to facilitate the appropriate assessment of diverse populations, patients, and families.

 

Develops collaborative partnerships with patient and family to obtain complete health history, including present illness, current health status, and past medical, psychosocial, spiritual and family histories; integrates patients' values and beliefs when providing care.

 

Creates, validates, and/or improves tools to ensure assessment data is collected and documented.

 

Utilizes collected data and experience to assess risk for instability and rapidly identify deviations from baseline.

 

Planning:

Interventions are individualized and address both short- and long-term needs.

 

Uses complex problem solving skills and experience to identify a broad range of options in the development of a plan of care with realistic outcomes which are congruent with interdisciplinary goals.

 

As patient responds to interventions, expeditiously modifies and communicates the plan of care in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team including clinical pathways as appropriate; for patients on clinical pathways, identifies when a change in patient condition requires discontinuation of the pathway and communicates to the provider the need to change the plan of care.

 

Evaluates and integrates the presence of high-risk factors, at-risk behaviors, and other concerns into the plan of care.

 

Initiates and leads patient care conferences with interdisciplinary team.

 

Integrates and anticipates interdisciplinary discharge planning needs into plan of care.

 

Identifies appropriate tools and/or teaching methods for patient/family education.

 

Implementation:

 

Interventions that a nurse performs for a patient, including treatments, procedures, medication administration, education, referrals, and discharge planning.
