Answers 2024 100% Pass
Provider-initiated/dependent interventions - SOLUTION interventions nurses initiate as a result of a
provider's prescription (written, standing, or verbal) or the facility's protocol (blood administration
procedures)



collaborative interventions - SOLUTION interventions nurses carry out in collaboration with other health
care team professionals (ensuring that a client receives and eats their evening snack)



Implementation - SOLUTION nurses base the care they provide based on assessment data, analysis, and
the plan of care they developed in the previous steps of the nursing process. In this step they must use
problem-solving, clinical judgement, and critical thinking to select and implement appropriate
therapeutic interventions using nursing knowledge, priorities of care, and planned goals or outcomes to
promote, maintain, or restore health.



Evaluation - SOLUTION nurses evaluate clients' responses to nursing interventions and form a clinical
judgment about the extent to which clients have met the goals and outcomes; nurses determine the
effectiveness of the nursing care plan. They collect data based on the outcome criteria then compare
what actually happened with the planned outcomes; clients' outcomes in specific, measurable terms are
easier to evaluate



Evaluate: Questions to Consider - SOLUTION "Did the client meet the planned outcomes?", "were the
nursing interventions appropriate and effective?", "should I modify the outcomes or interventions?"



Factors that can lead to lack of goal achievement during evaluation - SOLUTION an incomplete database,
unrealistic client outcomes, nonspecific nursing interventions, and inadequate time for the client to
achieve the outcomes



4 steps of Critical Thinking - SOLUTION 1. identify and analyze the problem; 2. recall info you need to
resolve the problem; 3. evaluate each option; 4. select the correct or priority option



clients with diabetes mellitus should eat what when their blood glucose is low? - SOLUTION they should
eat a snack of 10-15 grams of carbohydrates, such as 120 mL or 4 oz of fruit juice
