Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From your perspective as the nurse, you are to evaluate outcomes and response to nursing care and compare the patient's actual outcomes with the outcomes selected during planning. Ask if the patient's expectations (subjective data) of care are being met, and use objective data to determine the success of interventions. Just as it was important to include the patient during the assessment and planning phase of the care plan, it is essential to have the patient's evaluation of the plan of care, not just the patient's family and health care team.
