• Assessment: this involves the collection and interpretation of data to be used in developing a nursing diagnosis. This would include an assessment of the nurse’s patients with a focus on the problems that caused their hospital admissions. For example if they were admitted for myocardial infarction, they should be checked for chest pain or dyspnea.
  
  
• Diagnosis: this step is the process of identifying and classifying data collection during assessment in order to develop the plan of care. Accepted nursing diagnosis came from the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International (NANDA-I). A nursing diagnosis sets the stage for determining patient outcomes. The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses in the Perioperative Nursing Data Sets have identified desired patient outcomes.
  
  
• Outcome identification: once the nursing diagnosis is determined the perioperative nurse identifies the desired outcome. The outcome is measurable and provides direction for outlining a plan of care.
  
  
• Plan: after collecting and interpreting the data, identifying the nursing diagnosis and desired outcome a plan of care is developed and communicated to the team.
  
  
• Implementation: put the plan into action, in other words, perform the nursing activities and interventions and respond with critical thinking. This step is where the standards, guidelines and best practices are implemented.
  
  
• Evaluation: this entails checking, observing and appraising the results of interventions taken during the implementation phase.
  
  
• Modification: both the problem solving process and the nursing process are cyclical. If the process is not effective, then all of the steps must be reexamined and modified and a new course of action is implemented.
