1. A nurse determines that the patient’s condition has improved and has met expected outcomes.
Which step of the nursing process is the nurse exhibiting?
a. Assessment
b. Planning
c. Implementation
d. Evaluation
ANS: D
Evaluation, the final step of the nursing process, is crucial to determine whether, after application
of the first four steps of the nursing process, a patient’s condition or well-being improves and if
goals have been met. Assessment, the first step of the process, includes data collection. Planning,
the third step of the process, involves setting priorities, identifying patient goals and outcomes,
and selecting nursing interventions. During implementation, nurses carry out nursing care, which
is necessary to help patients achieve their goals.
2. A nurse completes a thorough database and carries out nursing interventions based on priority
diagnoses. Which action will the nurse take next?

d. Evaluation
ANS: D
Evaluation, the final step of the nursing process, is crucial to determine whether, after application
of the first four steps of the nursing process, a patient’s condition or well-being improves.
Assessment involves gathering information about the patient. During the planning phase, patient
outcomes are determined. Implementation involves carrying out appropriate nursing
interventions.
3. A new nurse asks the preceptor to describe the primary purpose of evaluation. Which
statement made by the nursing preceptor is most accurate?
a. “An evaluation helps you determine whether all nursing interventions were completed.”
b. “During evaluation, you determine when to downsize staffing on nursing units.”
c. “Nurses use evaluation to determine the effectiveness of nursing care.”
d. “Evaluation eliminates unnecessary paperwork and care planning.”
ANS: C
Evaluation is a methodical approach for determining if nursing implementation was effective in
influencing a patient’s progress or condition in a favorable way. During evaluation, you do not
simply determine whether nursing interventions were completed. The evaluation process is not
used to determine when to downsize staffing or how to eliminate paperwork and care planning.
