Ans 1. The nursing process includes ---

A. Assessment

B. Diagnosis

C. Planning

D. Implementation

E. Evaluation

Ways to properly apply it ---

• ASSESSMENT --

The most important part of being a nurse is doing assessments accurately. To do so one has to always start by assessing from head to toe and following the same pattern every single time, this will help not forgetting anything and keeping the process smooth.

• DIAGNOSIS ---

A nursing diagnosis is the patient's response to what is happening to them. A nursing diagnosis is developed based on the assessment done. A nursing diagnosis is standardized and can be followed, NANDA International give a nursing diagnosis how to be used, so instead of making it up, one can refer to it.

• PLANNING ----

Setting a plan of action to make the patient reach their ultimate goal that is getting better. This has to be done by critically thinking and analyzing and by writing/planning patient care, including patient goals and nursing interventions.

• IMPLEMENTATION ---

In this step, all the planning that has been planned is implemented. It is done to enhance patients outcomes and should be done with proper prior planning.

• EVALUATION --

Evaluate the whole of the process again and see if the implementation is done right or there are some other things that should be included, etc. Figure out the goals are meeting the implementation or something is needed to be changed or a new goal should be included. And the most important step here is to always reassess the patient.

2. Advancing public health by helping to speed innovations that make medical products more effective, safer, and affordable.

Purpose of the nursing practice act ---

1. It ensures that all registered nurses are qualified and competent of doing their job to the highest standard.

2. It allows the nursing practitioner to practice at the full extent of their scope of practice which allows the nurse practitioner to provide primary care for people in need.

Ans 3. Patient teaching related to enteric-coated medications should cover educating the patient about enteric-coated medication and why they should not chew it or take it by dissolving it in water and rather swallow it as a whole. Enteric coating in a drug is a type of protective covering that stops the drug from being dissolved by stomach juices and making them activate reaching the small intestine in order to provide a long-lasting effect of the drug. And if the patient takes it by chewing it or crushing it then the drug's effect will get decreased and it will not provide the actioned relief.
