• Intervention – the specific interventions or orders implemented in line with the plan of care and the medical treatment plan.
• Evaluation – a step that evaluates the effectiveness of interventions in achieving the plan of care, determines conclusions regarding achievement or lack of achievement of desired outcomes, and may prompt reassessment and revisions.
• Patients have problems identified and prioritized relative to biophysical, psychological, environmental, self‑care, educational and social status.
• Goals are identified consistent with the problem to provide direction for patient care and health promotion.
