4. When evaluating the patient's response to an intervention, the nurse validates to ensure the patient's perception of the response is communicated. Affect refers to a patient's emotional tone, not a method of validation. The patient's need for further intervention will be determined when the response is evaluated, not during validation of the patient's response. Clarification is used when a message is not clear.
