Answers | Grade A- WCU
The registered nurse analyzes the assessment data to determine the actual or potential diagnoses,
problems, and issues, identify how a patient responds to actual or potential health and life
processes.
Example of Diagnosis
You analyze the data just described and write the nursing diagnosis: Unrelieved pain related to a
fear of taking pain-relieving medications. The patient agrees that this is becoming a problem.
What does a nurse do for Planning?
Working with a patient, his or her family, and health care team members to set priorities of care,
identify patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and prescribe an individual approach to
care; set goals of care and desired outcomes, and identify nursing action.
Example of Planning
You decide to work with the patient to achieve the outcome: By 1500, patient reports sufficient
relief of pain to enable him to rest and to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. The patient wants
to accomplish the outcome. You identify teaching as the primary nursing intervention.
What does a nurse do for Implementation?
- The registered nurse implements the identified plan.
- The registered nurse coordinates care delivery.

Answers | Grade A- WCU
- The registered nurse employs strategies to promote health and a safe environment.
Example of Implementation
After asking the patient about his experiences with pain-relieving medications, you explain that
although many of these drugs are addictive when abused, there is no harm if they are taken as
prescribed postoperatively. You also explain that it is important for him to experience enough
pain relief to be able to cough and deep breathe, ambulate, and do other things important to his
recovery. You suggest that the medication will be most effective if taken before his pain peaks
and becomes intense. You administer the prescribed medication for pain when the patient
indicates that he is willing to give it a try.
Example of Evaluation
After enough time has elapsed for the medication to take effect, you check back with the patient
to evaluate whether he has obtained relief and met his outcome. If the patient is satisfied and you
both feel that comfort is no longer a problem, you terminate the care plan for this diagnosis. If
the patient still feels pain or is dissatisfied with the medication, each of the preceding steps of the
nursing process is reevaluated, and necessary changes are made in the care plan.
What does a nurse do for Evalution?
To determine extent to which interventions helped achieve goals of care. Take a critical look at
the results of implemented nursing interventions; determine if goals and expected outcomes are
achieved
What is primary care?
