Evaluation

A) This is not a Nursing Diagnosis. Fatigue and activity intolerance are two nursing diagnosis associated with this scenario. b) This statement is an attempt to obtain information about a patients response to an intervention, ambulation. Assessing a patients tolerance to ambulation is conducted in the Evaluation Step of the Nursing process - CORRECT ANSWER c) A step other than Assessment is best reflected in this scenario. Assessment occurs in the first step of the Nursing Process before Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation. d) When the nurse assists a patient with ambulation, the nurse is implementing, not evaluating, the nursing plan of care.
