Evaluation relates most directly to which aspect of the Nursing Process?

Goal

A) To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing action, the nurse needs to compare the actual patient outcome with the expected patient outcome. The expected outcomes are the measurable data that reflect goal achievement, and the actual outcomes are what really happened - CORRECT ANSWER b) The problem is associated with the first half (problem statement) of the Nursing Diagnosis, not the Evaluation step of the Nursing Process c) Etiology is a term used to identify the factors that relate to the problem statement of the Nursing process d) Implementation is a step separate from Evaluation in the Nursing Process. Nursing care must be implemented before it can be evaluated.
