The Cardiovascular Nursing Process
• The cardiovascular nursing assessment is continuous, comprehensive and holistic and maximizes appropriate use of available resources.
• A holistic plan of care includes prioritized goals and interventions developed in collaboration with the client, family and health-care team.
• Interventions are anticipated and implemented for actual or potential life-threatening situations.
• Goals and outcomes of care are evaluated, and the plan of care is revised in response to changes in the client’s status
