Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Input for the nursing process is the data or information that comes from a client's assessment (i.e. ,how the client interacts with the environment and the client's physiological function).
This is an example of the nursing process content: the information about the nursing care for clients with specific health care problems.
Feedback serves to inform a system about how it functions: how the client responds to the intervention.
Output is the end product of a system and in the case of the nursing process it is whether the client's health status improves or remains stable as a result of nursing care.
