2
Rationale 1: Teaching is part of implementation because it is an action or behavior performed by the nurse to improve the client's health status. Assessment is done to collect data in order to determine client problems and needs, which had to have been done already in order to determine that the client requires diet teaching. Planning is conducted before implementing to determine specific teaching needs and to establish goals of care. Evaluating is done after teaching is completed to determine if the goals and outcomes set during the planning stage were met.
