Nursing Process: Implementation

  The implementation phase of the nursing process is the doing, delegating, and documentation phase. It is, in essence, the nursing care provided to a patient to meet the identified health status. Implementation of Mr. McClelland’s plan of care requires the nurse to have a self- awareness of his or her own knowledge and abilities in regard to the intervention activities and an ability to maximize resources. Use your textbook/procedure guides to help you understand the different activities done with the patient. 1. From the interventions in part 3, list activities required to meet the interventions. 2. As a nursing student, identify the knowledge/skills needed to complete each activity. 3. Do any of the activities have an inherent safety risk to you or the patient? 4. In organizing care for Mr. McClelland, discuss which activities can be grouped together to best use your time and resources when you are providing care.
