ANS: C
When generating solutions (planning), the nurse identifies expected outcomes and uses the

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.
