2. INTROCUCTION
In this approach, possible solutions are
carefully evaluated & one of them is chosen
for implementation.
The situation is carefully monitored over time
to ensure the initial & continued effectiveness
of the solution.
Therefore, problem solving for one situation
contributes to the nurse’s knowledge for
problem solving in other similar situations.

4. PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS
Problem
definition
•In this first step, there is a need to write down
what exactly the problem entails, which helps to
identify the real problem that is under study &
needs an immediate solution.
Problem
analysis
•To analysis how the problem affects the
researcher & his or her current situation & other
people involved in the situation.
•The gravity of the problem & all the factors that
are contributing to the problem are determined

5. PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS
Generating
possible
solutions
•Focus must be on identifying & generating all
possible solutions for a problem.
•Each potential idea for solution of a problem
must be considered without discarding it
through value judgment.
Analyzing the
solutions
•Various factors about each of the potential
solutions are investigated, wherein all the
positive & negative aspects of each solution are
analyzed.

6. PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS
Selecting the
best solutions
•An attempt is made to compare the
available solutions, & eventually the
best solutions is selected based on
the careful judgment.
Implementing
the solutions
•The final step of the problem-solving
process is to practically solve the
problem by implementing the
selected solutions.

7. PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS
Evaluation
and revision
•After implementation of the most
potential solution, an evaluation is
made to judge the effectiveness of
the solution in resolving the
problem.
•It also helps to redefine the
problem & revise the problem-
solving process in case the initial
solution fails to manage the
problem effectively.
