All of the options are important considerations for nursing interventions. However, the idea that interventions must be approved by other members of the healthcare team indicates a lack of understanding of the nurse's independent role in implementing interventions based on their own professional judgment and assessment of the client's needs. While collaboration with other team members is important, nurses also have a responsibility to advocate for the best interests of their clients and implement appropriate interventions even if others may not approve.
