Examples of evaluation include assessing the client's response to pain medication. The focus of diagnosing is recognition of a client health problem that can be prevented or resolved by independent nursing intervention, such as a wound infection. Setting an anxiety rating with the client is an example of planning. Performing colostomy irrigation is an example of implementation.
