Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results.

Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
