Explanation
Choices A and D are correct. Implementation is when the nurse performs an action. These activities reflect the implementation portion of the nursing process. Implementation is based on the client's assessment. The nurse utilizes evaluation to determine the efficacy of the intervention.
Choices B, C, and E are incorrect. The nursing process's assessment step includes obtaining physiological data and psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and lifestyle data. The nursing diagnosis step includes not just primary diagnosis but also formulating diagnoses. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) defines nursing diagnosis as "a clinical judgment about the human response to health conditions/life processes, or a vulnerability for that response, by an individual, family, group or community." The diagnosis is the basis for the nurse's care plan. Interviewing a client is an assessment because the nurse forms appropriate questions to obtain the necessary information to formulate an accurate nursing diagnosis. Determining the efficacy of an intervention exemplifies evaluation which is the last part of the nursing process.
