    The nursing process involves assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation to prevent illness, promote health, treat conditions, and advocate for patients. Health assessments can be initial, focused, time-lapsed, or for emergencies. Physical exams involve observation, palpation, percussion, and auscultation while patient charts contain key clinical data and referrals transfer care. Nutritional assessments evaluate overall health status with nutrition relying on carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water to meet basic needs while problems can result from malnutrition, overnutrition, dehydration, or overhydration.
