The assessment phase is the first step of the nursing process. Here, the nurse systematically gathers comprehensive data about the client's health status through interviews, physical examinations, observations, and reviewing medical records. This involves collecting both subjective (what the client reports) and objective (measurable) data. The purpose is to identify the client's actual and potential health problems, strengths, and needs, forming a solid foundation for the subsequent steps of diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
