When selecting nursing interventions, the nurse should first review the problem and etiology of the nursing diagnosis. This ensures that the interventions chosen address the underlying cause of the problem and are appropriate for the individual client. Once this step is completed, the nurse can then identify interventions likely to achieve the desired outcomes and choose the best interventions for the patient. Reviewing goals comes later in the process of developing and implementing a care plan.
