Exploring the assessment process
Copyright policy )Exploring the assessment process
Assessment is a fundamental nursing skill that underpins decisions about interventions and priorities in care delivery. Rather than the holistic, individualised approach envisaged in the nursing process, nursing assessment of the sick child in hospital appears to focus mainly on quantitative data and preventing clinical failures. In this article, Carper's (1978) four 'patterns of knowing in nursing' are used to illustrate how assessment could be broadened to better inform nurses' decision making and to make child and family-centred care more of a reality.
