During the implementation phase, the nurse executes the interventions that were devised during the planning phase. The time frame of the implementation phase varies from patient to patient and from nursing diagnosis to nursing diagnosis. The nurse simultaneously implements the intervention from multiple nursing diagnoses for a patient at any given time. Implementation is a dynamic process. The nurse is continually interacting with the patient, the family, and other health care colleagues, changing the plan of care based on the continuous flow of information.
