2. Evaluative

Answer: 1
Explanation: In some care plans, interventions are organized according to the "type" of intervention: diagnostic, therapeutic, or educational. These categories can be helpful when the nurse is planning care to include interventions of each type to address the problem. Diagnostic interventions involve assessment and evaluative actions by the nurse. Assessment is not categorized as therapeutic or educational.
