Feedback:
By observing, monitoring the client's vital signs, listening to the client, and using critical thinking skills, the nurse is better able to collect data effectively in the continuing care of the client. These interventions will not help the nurse in analyzing the client's response. They will also not assist the nurse in preparing an effective discharge plan for the client or increase client interaction by increasing participation.
