Nursing process, as a problem solving method, is a discipline specific version of critical thinking. Traditionally, nurses have used a problem solving approach in planning and providing nursing care. Today the decision-making part of problem solving has become increasingly complex and requires critical thinking. Nursing process is a systematic rational method of planning and providing individualized quality nursing care to an Individual, Family and Community. It provides a systematic guide or method to assist nurses and students to develop a style of thinking that leads to appropriate clinical judgment.
