EVALUATION
Include subjective and objective components.
Assess physiological, psychosocial, developmental, cultural and spiritual dimensions.
• Subjective
Document client’s exact words relevant to the diagnosis.
“I’m not hungry”
• Objective
Document data that is measurable, specific, and relevant to the nursing diagnosis.
“Weight = 48 Kg”
“Lack of subcutaneous fat”
Use a NANDA diagnosis which has three (3) parts:
•Part I: NANDA statement of nursing problem
” Alternation in nutrition: Less than body requirements”
•Part 2: relating to a nursing etiology:
” relating to inadequate nutritional intake”
•Part 3: manifested by the assessed signs and symptoms:
” manifested by low body weight and emaciation.”
State the overall plan as client centered, e.g.,:
•” The client will…”
Relate the plan to the nursing diagnosis:
•.” have adequate nutritional intake”
Indicate a measurable outcome criteria by including time frame/amount/range:
•” as evidenced by…”
1) the ability to create a balanced meal plan by day (7).
2) gaining 1-2 lbs/wk until FDA recommended weight is achieved.
(3) etc.
Make the interventions nurse centered.
Indicate what the nurse will do to assist the client in achieving the outcome criteria, e.g.,
• The nurse will…”
State frequency/time
/amount so any nurse can carry out the plan:
1) Document all food intake for 3 days.
2) Determine and make available client’s favorite foods by day 2.
3) etc.
State the principle or scientific rationale for the nursing intervention(s).
Include the reference for the rationale.
Look at the outcome criteria.
State whether the client achieved the outcome criteria, e.g.,
” The client gained 2 lbs within the past 7 days…”
NOTE:
If the outcome criteria was not achieved or only partially achieved, the nurse needs to go back to the beginning, e.g., the “assessment” and make revisions or changes as necessary.
