The nursing process is a problem-solving process that addresses community health problems at every aggregate level with the goals of preventing illness and promoting public health… It is a management process that requires situational analysis, decision making, planning, organization, direction, and control of services, as well as outcome evaluation.

As a management tool, the nursing process addresses all aggregate levels… It is a process for implementing changes that improve the function of various health-related systems and the ways that people behave within those systems. (Allender, Rector, & Warner, 2010, p. 400).
