What will be an ideal response?
Assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, evaluation
The steps of the nursing process provide a means of addressing problems identified as affecting the client. Assessment is ongoing, the nursing diagnosis is the identification of client problems, and client goals are set during the planning phase. Interventions are determined, then implemented. Lastly, goals are evaluated to determine whether they have been met, partially met, or not met at all. In the latter two evaluation results if the goals have not been met or only partially met, the plan of care must be reevaluated and revised.
