Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing a back rub is a nursing intervention, which falls under the implementation phase. The nurse has already assessed the client's pain and given medication, and evaluation of the effectiveness of the interventions will come later. A diagnosis is not needed in this situation as the client's pain was already identified and treated.
