Feedback:
Documenting client care is an important aspect of implementing the nursing care plan. Documentation helps others caring for the client to work with purpose and understanding. Analyzing the client's responses, identifying factors leading to the client's success or failure in achieving his or her goals, and planning future nursing care are a part of evaluating the care given to the client and not a part of implementation.
