Assessing-collection, organizing, validation, and documenting client data; for the purpose of establishing a database about the clients response to health concerns or illness and the ability to manage health care needs.

All data should be updated as needed, organized, validated, and communicate and document data.
Diagnosing- Analyzing and synthesizing data; for the purpose to identify client strengths and health problems that can be prevented or resolved by collaborative and independent nursing interventions to develop a list of nursing and collaborative problems. The nurse must interpret and analyze data, by comparing data against standards; cluster or group data (generate tentative hypotheses). And identify gaps and inconsistencies. The nurse must determine client’s strengths, risk, diagnoses, and problems. Formulate nursing diagnoses and collaborative problem statements. Document nursing diagnosis on the care plan.
