During implementation, the nurse provides nursing care, communicates effectively, collaborates with team members, and instructs clients and families. With data collection, the nurse collects data about clients' basic physical, emotional, spiritual, and sociocultural needs; uses knowledge of normal values to identify deviations; documents data collection; and communicates findings. During planning, the nurse contributes to the development of nursing care plans; prioritizes nursing care needs; and assists in review and revision of nursing care plans. In evaluation, the nurse seeks guidance, as needed, and modifies nursing approaches based on the evaluation of nursing care.
