ANS: C
When generating solutions (planning), the nurse identifies expected outcomes and uses the
patient's problem(s) to define a set of interventions to achieve the most desirable outcomes.
Recognizing cues (assessment) involves the gathering of cues (information) from the patient
about their health and lifestyle practices, which are important facts that aid the nurse in making
clinical care decisions. Prioritizing hypothesis is used to organize and rank the patient
problem(s) identified. Finally, taking action involves implementation of nursing interventions to
accomplish the expected outcomes.
