Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Independent nursing interventions are tasks within the nurse's scope of practice and do not require an order from a physician. Dependent nursing interventions are tasks the nurse undertakes that are within the nursing scope of practice but require the order of a primary care provider to be implemented. Some physician orders are received through a preapproved standardized order set known as standing orders. Counseling is the process through which individuals use professional guidance to address personal conflicts or emotional problems.
