Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important for the nurse to involve the client and family in the outcome development process to promote their engagement and ownership of the plan of care. This may increase the likelihood of achieving the desired outcomes. The other options (A, C, and D) may also be important considerations, but do not address the importance of client/family involvement in the outcome development process.
